Born in Pamplona and formed in Barcelona, Javier Aristu mainly uses photography, graphics, video, objects or writings, taking a special interest in the relationships between image and word, simplicity and naturalness or meaning and nonsense. Among his most conscious influences are Bruce Nauman, Robert Frank, Hans-Peter Feldmann or Piero Manzoni, but the unconscious are countless. After combining his personal work with design and art direction since 2005, he publish three author books in 2018 (Perlas), 2019 (Curiosidades ilustradas) and 2020 (Retrautos), and begin to print and exhibit photography and graphic work in 2022
