About Me

Esperanza Gómez-Carrera is a Spanish visual artist, based in London. With a BA in Psychology from the University of Granada and a BA in Fine Arts from the University of Arts London, she brings these two interests together to develop and explore her vision of her world.

She investigates and accesses objects, places and situations that life offers her, transforming them from her inner vision to offer them to the observer.

When she works on sculptures or installations, she doesn't like to feel tied to any material, to any form. She works with wood, metal, wire, leather, paper, plaster, clay, etc., but she is not faithful to any of them. She likes to collaborate with materials and everyday objects, especially books, to which she intervenes to tell the stories that inhabit them, making visible what they can give.

She is always in a phase of experimentation in her work, because she understands that art, like life, is a learning path and you learn when you go from the known to the unknown.

She also explores communication with the observer through actions or performances, taking an interest in the "other" from the perspective that led her to study Psychology, that interest in how the observer lives, experiences and develops.

She is a member of Espacio Gallery and The Artists' Pool since their inception and a founding member of Degrees of Freedom, (DOF) Art Projects and Productions in London. Her latest project is the audiovisual production company Ande Films Productions, with which she was awarded a Silver Biznaga at the Malaga Film Festival 2021, for her documentary "Art in Motion"; within the "Women on Stage" section.

She has worked with Tino Sehgal at the Tate Modern and Tokyo Palace in Paris, with Dora Garcia at the Reina Sofia Museum and at Gropius Bau in Berlin and other international artists. She has works in private collections in Europe, the United States, Japan, and Singapore.
