Blossoming Box (2023) Sculpture by Joana Sabido

Since I was younger, I've always had a passion for creation. Architecture models in real estate storefronts would catch my eye, and I could spend hours looking at them, admiring every single most tiny detail. The enjoyment of the perfection of rigorous drawings and models took me to a degree in Architecture, where I fully understood my passion lay in creating these miniature versions of buildings and not in the profession itself.

Despite my passion, I never saw myself as an artist. I've friends that are far more gifted than I am at drawing, and so, being an artist wasn't an option for a long time. In the last couple of years, I decided to step away from that idea and see myself differently. I love creating something out of simple materials, using my hands to bring to life my vision of the world, of beauty.

In that sense, I'm a new artist trying to find myself in the art, discovering what and how I like to create, and building my own path as I go.
