Pilar Santos

An Artist Working Across Materials

Pilar Santos is a visual artist born in A Coruña whose practice reaches beyond painting. Her work includes oil painting, ceramics, sculpture, and colorful masks, bringing together a range of materials and forms rather than staying within a single medium.

From Painting to Sculpture

Santos studied art and ceramics in A Coruña and Santiago de Compostela. A 2024 exhibition organized by Casa de Galicia in Madrid presented paintings alongside newer light-based sculptures and masks, describing a body of work marked by a willingness to experiment while retaining a distinct artistic identity.

For viewers, the range of media is part of the appeal: the work can shift from the intimacy of a painted surface to three-dimensional forms and sculptural light. Her official site presents selected works and background for those who want to explore the artist beyond a single exhibition.
