Juan de la Rica (Bilbao, 1979) is a Spanish painter. In 2007 he graduated in Fine Arts from the University of the Basque Country. Since then he has shown his work in numerous national and international exhibitions.

His painting is characterized by its flat, saturated colors and its clean, synthetic lines. The themes that he deals with are varied, including still life, portraiture, mythological and religious scenes, and so on.

He generally approaches these issues from irony and humor, and with an eye always on the History of Art. In his paintings he tries to offer an open narrative, where there is room for free interpretation.
