 Artist Bio

Susana Sanromán (A Coruña) - She lives and works in London

Susana Sanromán is a Spanish visual artist working in different media: Photography, Video-Art, Installation, and Performance.

Since completing her B.A. (Hons) in Photography at the LCC, University of the Arts London, she has been involved in numerous international exhibitions and artist residencies in Europe, Asia, and America.

After her graduation in 2008, she assisted internationally renowned artist Tom Hunter for four years. In 2009, she published her photographic essay 'Women looking at women: the female gaze.'

Her artwork has been selected in several international Art Fairs over the years; Exposure 2015 at Louvre Museum, Venice Biennale 2019, 2017 and 2015, The Affordable Art Fair 2019 (Hong Kong and Singapore), Art Takes Miami 2015 &2014, among others.

Her Photography has recently been the runner-up of the 'British Photography Awards 2020'. Amongst other awards, she has also been a finalist at the 'NordArt Award 2019', 'World Photography Organization. 'Der Greif Open Call 2017' and 'The Environmental Photographer of the Year 2016'.


Susana Sanromán focuses her work on the impact of consumerist societies on the natural environment. She creates images to reflect on a 'Future' plagued by unknowns. This atypical year, she embarked in a new direction with her work, 'The Lock-down Effect,' aiming to create a bridge-gaze from climate change to social isolation.
