Chino Soria

Argentine

1964

Chino Soria constructs sculptural and digital works that reflect on instability, survival, and transformation. Drawing on his training in architecture, he builds visual systems from discarded materials, algorithmic processes, and spatial repetition, often combining physical structure with screen-based motion.

Full Bio

Chino Soria was born in 1964 in Buenos Aires and studied architecture at the Universidad de Buenos Aires. He lives and works between London, Los Angeles, and Buenos Aires. His visual practice developed alongside his architectural training and includes sculpture, installation, drawing, painting, and digital animation. He often combines handmade and digital processes, working with both physical materials and algorithmic systems. His background in architecture informs how he approaches structure, repetition, and spatial composition, whether through found objects or screen-based images.

His work responds to the instability of contemporary life, using poetic arrangements, discarded materials, and generative variation to reflect on survival, value, and transformation. He approaches digital language as a generative system, capable of producing infinite variation within clear constraints. In 2008 he participated in The WHITE Exhibition at Centro Cultural Borges in Buenos Aires, followed in 2010 by Casa Abierta at the Argentine Ambassador’s Residence in London. In 2020 he was one of nine artists featured in Contagio at Cecilia Brunson Projects in London, a group exhibition of UK-based Latin American artists curated by Jaime Gili. His work has also been shown at the Museu d'Art Contemporani in Ibiza, the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes in Buenos Aires, and the Városi Művészeti Múzeum in Győr, and at international art fairs including ArteBA, Art Miami, Scope London, Pulse New York, and Estampa Madrid.
