About
Creative Lighting & New Media Artist

Ricardo Morcillo explores the intersection between the physical and the digital through the language of light. His creations invite the public to immerse themselves in atmospheric experiences that aim to awaken collective awareness and emotional connection.
He holds a degree in Lighting Design from the Hogeschool van Amsterdam and in Architecture from the School of Architecture of Alicante. Alongside his artistic practice, he promotes light culture through lectures, academic teaching, and contributions to specialized magazines. He is a Senior Professional Member of the Professional Association of Lighting Designers (APDI).
His installations have been featured in international festivals such as Noor Riyadh (Saudi Arabia), Bright Brussels (Belgium), and LuzMadrid (Spain), where his work engages the public through a dialogue between light, space, and civic participation.
