About The Artwork

Trace and action; trail that we involuntarily leave in our wake. Bodies cross, meet and interact. They leave marks, interact with the environment and with others. Sculptural project articulated from a personal research both theoretical and experimental where for the first time he uses ceramics and stone as working materials (looking for this double research; material and theoretical). The body as a presence, preserving what has already been, with the experience of each moment, where there are always things from the past and with an openness to what will happen. The body is proof of the passage of moments in the succession of history, a witness of what passes by preserving the traces of the past, it is expressed in a present moment as a trace of what was. Each body has its footprint, leaves its trail, shadows transcribed into gestures and scars that remind the subject of what he has experienced and prepare him for life. Body as a trace of the flow of each moment. The body is linked to time, a time that manifests itself in different ways: external bodily movements, displacements in space, involuntary movements, internal movements, ... Movements that indicate to us that the body lives in and with time. What sensations do these movements produce? Sensations that appear and disappear, return according to the person's interests. In this way, the lived experience is formed, the present experience. What trace does a past experience leave us? What is the retention we do of this? The impression that remains in the consciousness of these experiences and that becomes real in each moment of people's future lives on in each of the acts of the body and its exposure at each moment.

Sònia Benitez, artist from Barcelona, creator of sculptures from different materials and formats. She has a degree in Fine Arts, specialized in working stone and ceramics, natural materials, which are very important elements in her work, where she looks for the connection with nature. She works on the human figure, especially the female one is the most present, figurative pieces, quiet and immobile, looking for the reflection of an accelerated and constant world, creating calm moments of pause and reflection. Sculpture allows her to create this reflection, her own personal expression of these sensations or feelings of that specific moment, seeking for the viewer to observe and create its own interpretations. She likes to work in a spontaneous way mud and stone creating unique pieces of art. She is currently working on a small format collection mixing iron and ceramics, looking for the contrast of the two materials. In 2007 she finished her Belles Arts studies at the University of Barcelona, specializing in sculpture and she was also granted a one semester scholarship at Michigan University where she worked on a project in ceramics. After 2008 she combined her teaching career with her personal sculptural work, enrolling into national competitions and presenting her work in small exhibitions.
