Clara Sánchez Sala (b. 1987, Alicante, Spain) is an artist based in Madrid.
The work of Clara Sánchez develops bonds between scientific, literary and technological data, from a poetic point of view, starting from three fundamental topics on her artistic investigation: the fictional dimension of cartographic representation; rational and metrical, the reflection on landscape as a meeting point, and the Earth as a primigenial experience for men. With the objective of creating a speech always referred to the complex world of fiction that we human beings generate in that incessant un- estrangement in which the meeting with the external world consists, and that we usually call: real.
