Born in Barcelona in 1996, Pol Ballonga began his artistic journey by experimenting, and exploring different mediums like drawing, watercolor, and oil painting to express his deepest concerns.
This exploration eventually led him to sculpture. He felt with this medium he could create a three-dimensional world with stronger symbolism that established more connections between his art and the viewer. He has since worked as a sculptor, now for almost a decade, mastering the craft's processes from sketching to reproductions.
Innovation and an impact on viewers are what Pol hopes to achieve through his art, encouraging reflection, introspection, and emphasizing the importance of self-knowledge and empathy towards others.
His recent projects include digitizing his sculptures, giving them movement and a new level of depth. Additionally, he has created a virtual reality archive that allows viewers to rotate and observe the details of his creations from the web, even placing the sculpture in their desired space through their mobile device.
Pol has had six solo exhibitions and more than a dozen collective ones. He has been a finalist in various important awards such as the Beautiful Bizarre Art Prize 2020, Sculpture Vilacasas Award 2018, and Kreas Art Projects 2019.
Passionate about art's infinite possibilities, Pol aspires to motivate, teach (and learn) through his artwork ultimately inspiring others and contributing to the remarkable world of art. Stay up to date with his expanding artistic realm and aesthetics by following him on social networks.
