nolavola is the artistic name of Sonia Otero.

I am a collage artist currently living and working in Galicia-Spain.

I use collage as a means of expression and communication.

Some works tell a story, an idea, a phrase... other times, on the other hand, they just try to show a feeling, a sensation, leaving a space open to interpretation by the viewer.

I mainly work with analog collage. The very search in antique markets, sencond-hand bookstores, stationery stores, textile stores... confer a substantial part of the work, since they endow it with materials with colors and textures that provide time and memory.

I graduated in Geography and History from the University of Vigo. Later I studied different studies of Art History, Plastic Arts and Graphic Design.

After several years dedicated to education, I noy identify myself as an illustrator who uses collage as a virtual communication art.
