Sabrina Montiel-Soto is a multidisciplinary artist and filmmaker. His trajectory ventures into different fields of audiovisual-space-time creation (installations, videos, photography, sounds and sculptures). In her creative process, we find methods borrowed from journalism, alchemy or archeology, since Sabrina Montiel-Soto goes into the field, finds leads, traces to dose, combine layers of stories and their give new meanings. The diversion of meaning, sometimes with humor, is a constant in his work where freedom is found in its opposites. For the artist, space is a support, a container of visual, mobile and auditory experiences that the artist deploys with rigor, balance and harmony. In his work, the observation and study of the human dimension, cultural and psychological aspects, nature and the universe, serve as a starting point for the articulation of his projects. His work bears witness to his origins, his travels and his research to create a “cultural fusion”, a poetic mutation that gives the illusion of reality.
