Sola’s Art is a Metaphor for a Changing World

Spanish artist Sola combines three-dimensional elements with vivid color schemes in her abstract pieces to explore the process of transformation and to create a profound metaphor for a changing world.

Within each piece she strives to show both what the world is like and how it is evolving before our eyes. Specifically, through her art Sola traces and explores how the emergence of the Internet, social networks, and global communications have revolutionized the way we live and ultimately the way we see the world. Using the symbol of the chrysalis, the essence of metamorphosis, she explores the impact of this collective awareness that has indeed turned the world into a global village. The fact that the transformation is in many ways a positive one is conveyed by the vibrancy and beauty of her paintings. As she explains, “The result will leave another world perhaps more beautiful, just like the butterfly that comes after the pupa.” Here, profound change results in the birth of a newly harmonious world.

Sola lives and works in Seville, Spain, where she is a professor of sculpture.
