GRACIA ARRUIZ (Pamplona, 1996)
Gracia Arruiz is a young sculptor specializing in stone currently residing in Brooklyn, New York. She trained in Italy in 2020, where she worked in prestigious studios such as Franco Cervietti (Pietrasanta) and Torart (Carrara), collaborating on projects by artists such as Fabio Viale, Damien Hirst, and Jeff Koons. Her work combines Italian sculptural tradition with contemporary processes, notable for the refinement and detail in marble and other stones. Arruiz transforms everyday objects into poetic sculptures that reflect on time, permanence, and the female gaze in contemporary art. Works such as “Point of View” reinterpret contemporary icons, such as a pair of Carrara marble sunglasses. In 2024, she moved to New York City with an extraordinary talent visa, where she continues to develop her personal practice and collaborate with leading sculpture studios.
