Artist Sofía Cristina Jiménez. The Permanent Space. Artist drawing in pencil on paper. Black and white photo.

Sofía Cristina is a visual artist from Madrid, creator of El Espacio Permanente.

After more than thirteen years working as Manager for international luxury companies such as Loewe or Delpozo, since 2019 she has focused on  developing her creative art studio.

Although I searched for it, I could not find another path that could calm my spirit, and it is in the most turbulent moments, when our vocation returns to heal us

    Space where only the soul sprouts
                          |and the calm is perpetual|.

In her works, both on canvas and paper, she explores complex contemporary concepts and realities through surreal creations accompanied by poetry and wordplay; she aspires to move the audience and escape with them into the world she has created, where images condense abstract and sometimes opposing feelings.
