INTERIORES SOKA - Sonia Kanarens

Born in Argentina and based in Barcelona for more than half of her life, her creative journey has always been closely linked to design and to a sensitivity towards objects and spaces. She has a background in interior design and more than ten years of professional experience in the field, a path that has deeply influenced her aesthetic vision and the way she understands functionality and materiality.

A few years ago, she discovered traditional ceramics and, from that moment on, clay completely captivated her. She found a world of creative possibilities where she could bring together design, functionality and aesthetics, creating unique handmade pieces. For approximately six years, she has continued her training in various workshops in Barcelona and at the Escola de Ceràmica de la Bisbal d’Empordà.

She works on the potter’s wheel and through hand-building and, whenever possible, attends Raku workshops, a technique that particularly connects her with fire and the unpredictability of the process.

Her work is inspired by small details: textures, natural materials transformed by the passage of time and use, and nature in all its moments and seasons. She is especially fascinated by the different stages of life in nature, even when flowers and leaves reach their final stage, withering and revealing a serene, imperfect and honest beauty.

She currently develops her ceramic practice through continuous learning and a deep respect for the craft, seeking a balance between tradition, design and personal expression.
