Biography:

Jara López Sastre is a Spanish artist and studio manager. She was born in Madrid, Spain in 2001. López Sastre's artistic narrative comes from her curiosity with objects and the cultural connotations they've developed over time. Particularly the relation that motifs of fish and aquatic plant life have evolved to have with European aesthetics of domesticity. Jara plays with the symbolism that these life forms hold in society to develop her own dialogue about femininity in contrast to certain ways it's been represented in art over time. She creates a new adaptation of those very same objects and forms. López Sastre has exhibited her work in New York City and has gained recognition for her unique style. She is currently based in Manhattan, where she continues to create and push the boundaries of contemporary art.
