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. During her doctoral research she explored in depth the multiple creative possibilities of the juxtaposition of sound with solid state media, focusing on the complex and heterogeneous field of Sound Art in which she is a recognized expert. After that period untill today her research has continued to deepen the possibilities of this type of artistic and musical praxis with a double value, the sonorous-plastic and as a personal and / or social transformational vehicle, transversely addressing issues such as human development, sensorial development, sensory extension, education, ecology, technology, cultural heritage, social inclusion, artistic mediation and even art therapy. In her plastic works highlights her expressive freedom, a powerfull and interesting colorful and her deep attention to the composition and to the material qualities of her work.
