Lleida, 1974.
Visual artist and illustrator. Degree in Fine Arts (Salamanca).
Sonia Ains's artistic work is linked to both life experiences and dreams, expressed through a surreal and poetic language. Her works contain constant references to femininity, feminism, motherhood, family, and love.
Through her series “Dones d’Aigua”, Sonia Alins experiments with the incorporation of elements that add texture, such as fabrics, printed papers, feathers, wool, or plastic, creating pieces with ethereal atmospheres and a delicate three-dimensionality.
Sonia Alins has received numerous international awards in various illustration and art competitions, including a gold medal awarded by the Society of Illustrators in New York in 2021, the Award of Excellence 2022, 2021, and 2019 awarded by the prestigious Communication Arts magazine, a Gold Award at the Global Illustration Award 2018 (awarded by the Frankfurt Book Fair), two gold medals at Le Salon des Beaux Arts 2017 (Société Nationale des Beaux Arts de France), and a Bronze A’Design Award (A’Design Award and Competition 2017).
Her works have been published in the United States, Germany, Scotland, Italy, the United Kingdom, Taiwan, and Japan.
