✨Meet the Artist✨
Sonia Navarro (b. 1975, Puerto Lumbreras, Spain) studied at the Escuela de Arte y Superior de Diseño in Murcia before earning a Fine Arts degree from the University of Granada. She later completed a master’s degree in photography at EFTI International Centre of Photography and Film in Madrid. Her work has received numerous prestigious awards, including the Royal Academy of Spain scholarship in Rome and the BMW Art Award in 2023. In 2010, she participated in Manifesta 8 in Murcia. Her works are included in several important public collections, among them the Museo Reina Sofía, the Spanish Ministry of Culture, and the University of Granada Collection. Last year, Sala Alcalá 31 in Madrid hosted her major solo exhibition, Fronteras y territorios.
The concept of borders lies at the centre of Navarro’s practice, whether physical, mental or social. For her, borders simultaneously represent separation and connection, enclosure and openness. Her monumental textile works and relief-like installations function as landscapes in which personal memory, female experience, craft traditions and collective identities overlap and intertwine. In these works, she often explores her own and her family’s routes, boundaries and memories, evoking fields, walks and trails.
