Arina Antonova<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Arina Antonova (b. 1980, Sevastopol) is an artist working between Spain and Switzerland. Her practice focuses on sculpture and installation, using clay as her primary material. Through her work, she explores the body\u2014especially the female\u2014as something lived, remembered, and shaped by power, control, and daily rituals. Food and craft traditions are key in her work, connecting personal memory with broader cultural histories. Antonova\u2019s sculptures often become wearable or body-related objects, inviting intimate connection and physical engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Antonova studied art history and archaeology in St. Petersburg and Hamburg. After moving to Spain, she began working with clay, shifting from two-dimensional media to a more physical, tactile process. In 2016, she opened her studio in Palma de Mallorca, where she continued developing her sculptural language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her work has been shown internationally in exhibitions across Spain, France, Italy, Switzerland, and the United States. She received second prize in the Traditional Ceramics category in La Rambla, Spain (2022), and was nominated for the Martinson\u2019s Award at the 4th Latvia Ceramics Biennale (2023). In 2024, she was invited as a panel member for Crafting Change at the Royal Danish Academy, a European initiative on innovation and sustainability in ceramics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2023, she founded AAA Studio, an artist-run space in Palma\u2019s Old Town. More than just her workplace, the studio has grown into a platform for exhibitions, conversations, and collaboration. Focusing on sculpture and contemporary ceramics, AAA Studio showcases work by women artists. It\u2019s a space for visibility and exchange\u2014supporting emerging voices, nurturing community, and opening up dialogue between local and international perspectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
