View Larger Image and Additional Photos of Sonia AlinsAbout Sonia Alins : After working, since 1998, from her studio illustrating many children books, educational projects, magazines and projects for some of the most well-known companies in Spain , Sonia Alins has arrived to an artistic maturity with new aesthetic referents. Because of this, she started a new artistic work (often three-dimensional collages) based on a poetic and surreal narrative related with her inner life, womanhood and feminism. Sonia also explores the expressiveness of some abstract elements such as transparency and blur.
For me, art is an aesthetic dream come true.
