The Studio

NUR Living Lights is an experiential light studio working at the intersection of art and science.

The studio develops large-scale sculptural installations for experiential hospitality, architectural environments and public space.

Projects are developed in close collaboration with architects and project teams, from spatial concept to final installation.

Select commissions are undertaken internationally, with a focus on spatial presence, structural clarity and emotional impact.

The studio’s sculptural vision is presented in the publication Unseen Architectures, exploring invisible spatial structures through light and form.

Founder & Creative Direction

Trained as an industrial engineer at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC, Barcelona), Gabriel Fontanillo Riesco brings a rigorous understanding of structure, material behavior and energetic systems to his sculptural practice.

Engineering serves as a medium.

The aim is experiential: to create luminous structures that resonate beyond function, inviting awareness, contemplation, and connection.

After a decade of work across North America, NUR Living Lights now operates internationally from southern Europe, creating large-scale sculptural installations for hospitality and public environments.
