Javier Barriga is a Chilean mural artist and illustrator known for his colorful, large-scale murals.

His work is characterized by austere compositions, a strong use of light and chiaroscuro, and a recurring focus on female figures, often shown in resting poses or turned away from the viewer. These elements create an open narrative space for interpretation.

He is committed to promoting public art in Chile, contributing to the cultural landscape through muralism that integrates art into everyday life and strengthens collective identity.

In 2024, his mural "Close to Me", created in Tbilisi for Tbilisi Mural Fest ranked 16th in the "Best Mural of the World" contest held by Street Art Cities.
