Artur Ramon Art

“I have always liked the slow pace of textile work. When facing the blank canvas I don't have a very specific idea of what I'm going to do. I look for a pattern to repeat; I do and undo until I find the right rhythm. I never know how long it will take. Sometimes I find the way the first time, very easily, and other times it costs more”

Biografia

The daughter of a family of architects and artists, Amparo de la Sota (Madrid, 1963) is a Spanish textile artist who weaves and crochets textile pieces and then adheres them to linen canvases. Her classic and contemporary work simultaneously blurs the border between Design and the Arts, and is full of letters, signs, writing and text, highlighting form, geometry and rhythm. The meticulously embroidered landscapes convey a deep, suggestive and silent world. They are the works in which to discover the world of a great artist, heir to a textile tradition that was already a major art in Greece or that Velázquez painted in his Spinners (c. 1657). Since 2004 she has been actively exhibiting in individual and group exhibitions in Madrid and progressively throughout the Iberica Peninsula, where she has gained recognition in the contemporary textile art scene, of which she is still a leading actor today. In 2021 she participated in the collective that we carried out in the Artur Ramon Art space on fabrics, entitled "Textures and Labyrinths" curated by Silvia Ventosa (curator of the fabric section of the Museum of Design Hub). Other artists in the exhibition were Aurelia Muñoz, Francesca Piñol, Marga Ximenez and Pilar Sala.
