Sofia del Mar Collins

Sofía del Mar Collins (b. 1995, San Juan, Puerto Rico) considers painting an alchemical process of flood and surrender from which worldmaking unfolds. Blurring differences between craft and fine art mediums, textile processes, such as sewing, embroidery, dyeing with natural pigments, and weaving make their presence throughout her practice. Recent solo exhibitions include Pleno vuelo inconsistente as part of the Projects section curated by Carla Acevedo Yates in ARTBO 2025 (Bogotá, Colombia), To turn into rain and fall again at Uffner&Liu previously Rachel Uffner Gallery (New York, 2024), Nadie en casa at Souvenir 154/PerezPuig, San Juan, PR (2023). While currently based in San Juan, Collins completed her MFA in Studio Art at Hunter College (2021) and received her BA from Sarah Lawrence College where she graduated with the Geraldine Putnam Prize for Visual Arts (2017). 

Her work forms part of Fidelity Investments Corporate Art Collection (Boston), the Jorge M. Pérez Collection (Miami), and Green Family Art Foundation (Dallas). Group exhibitions include her participation in La 3ra Gran Bienal Tropical (Loiza, Puerto Rico, 2025), FAMILY/TREE (Chozick Family Art Gallery, New York 2025), Perspectives (Embajada, San Juan, PR, 2025), Art Basel Miami Beach (2024), Cortar, Coser, Quebrar, Cuidar, Quemar (Souvenir 154/Perez Puig, San Juan, Puerto Rico, 2024) En busca del paisaje perdido (El Nuevo Hidrante, San Juan, Puerto Rico, 2022), among others. Through oneiric activations across painting, drawing, sculpture, installation, video, and performance, Sofía del Mar Collins searches to connect with the past, cultivate lucidity in the present, and set in motion perspectives for an adaptable, sensible, and yet suspicious future.
