History

ENG: Sonia’s relationship with textiles began at a young age, as she played with her grandmother's old sewing machine altering her clothes or making accessories. As a young adult, she trained as a pattern maker but was soon disenchanted by the world of the textile industry, which promotes mass consumption and disregards the processes and the people. She decided to redirect her career and reconnect with values, and began her studies in textile arts. Interested in the more traditional processes and techniques, such as embroidery, handloom weaving, and natural dying, her curiosity has led her to work from the very structure of the fabric, investigating with different types of fibers, materials, and processes. She makes unique pieces ranging from wall hangings, to lamps, curtains, and rugs. She works and gives workshops from her studio space in La Clandestina de Poblenou, a creative co-working space and enjoys being part of the creative fabric of artists and makers that the space supports. ESP: La relación de Sonia con el textil comenzó a una edad temprana, cuando jugaba con la vieja máquina de coser de su abuela modificando su ropa o confeccionando accesorios. De joven se formó como patronista, pero pronto se sintió desencantada por el mundo de la industria textil, que promueve el consumo de masas y desprecia los procesos y las personas. Decidió reorientar su carrera y comenzó sus estudios de arte textil como una manera de recolectar consigo misma. Interesada por los procesos y técnicas más tradicionales, como el bordado, el tejido en telares manuales y el tinte natural, su curiosidad la ha llevado a trabajar desde la propia estructura del tejido, investigando con diferentes tipos de fibras, materiales y procesos. Realiza piezas únicas que van desde tapices hasta lámparas, cortinas y alfombras. Trabaja e imparte talleres desde su estudio en La Clandestina de Poblenou, un espacio de co-working creativo y disfruta formando parte del tejido creativo de artistas y makers que el espacio apoya.
