\n\t[vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

My name is S\u00f2nia
\nNice to meet you!<\/h1>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Currently, I consider my sculptures as a reflection of my personal experiences and reflections. In the beginning, stone carving was simply a moment of disconnection and connection with myself. Nowadays, it goes further and, consciously and sometimes unconsciously, creating from sculpture has allowed me to shape and show sensations and situations experienced.<\/span><\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Doing Fine Arts I discovered stone carving and how this material, and everything it implied, allowed me to escape. When I finished my university career, I continued my training, spending more than six years in the workshop of Mariano Andr\u00e9s Vilella. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>I have always found the need to work from the female figure. The sculptural bodies become a presence, a record and a witness. A trace that is printed on each of my pieces. A body with a double vision, the external body and the interior… inspiring a more inimate and personal reflection.<\/span><\/p>\n

The sculpture becomes not only moments of pause and reflection but a language to communicate with me<\/p>\n
