About Rocio Silleras Aguilar
Art teacher, researcher, experimental musician, plastic and sound multimedia artist.
Born in Burgos in November 28th of 1981. Plastic Art and Experimental Music are the two main pillars of her work. Her multidisciplinary research and artistic praxis are focused on sound understood as a sound-musical-plastic material that establishes bridges both with the different artistic, musical, literary and theatrical disciplines as well as with the rest of the scientific, technological and humanistic disciplines.
