Cristina Iglesias
Artist and sculptor, 2020 London’s Royal Academy Architecture Prize

Cristina Iglesias is a Spanish installation artist and sculptor. Her unique sculptural vocabulary develops immersive and experiential environments while integrating architecture, literature and culturally site-specific influences. Through a language of constructed and natural forms rendered in diverse materials and ranging from suspended pavilions, latticed panels, passageways, and mazes, to walls imbued with literary fragments and structural and vegetative forms, Iglesias poetically redefines the notion of space by confounding interior and exterior, organic and artifice and combining manufactured materials with natural elements to produce unexpected new sensory sites for the viewer.

Among several exhibitions she has installed recent public sculptures at the Royal Academy of Arts, London, Madison Square Park, New York, Santa Clara Island, San Sebastian, MFAH, Houston and Bloomberg Headquarters in London. In 2020 she was awarded the London’s Royal Academy Architecture Prize.
