MArina Durán
Marina Durán Sierra (Santander, 1998) is an artist and designer working at the intersection of art, object, and body.
Her practice focuses on the creation of sculptural pieces that question the boundaries between functionality and passive observation. Working with raw materials steel, leather, and silver. She explores the tension between the industrial and the emotional.
Positioned between industrial design and fashion, her work investigates how functionality can justify the existence of an artistic object.
Educated in Fine Arts and Fashion Design, she has developed projects that combine art, creative direction, and styling. Her work has been presented in fashion shows, music videos, and collective exhibitions across Spain.
Her pieces often emerge from discomfort and contradiction, both material and narrative.
SOPADEVODKA
SOPADEVODKA is a project that begins with the object and exists somewhere between industrial design and attire. It does not operate within the field of fashion but within the language of form creating objects conceived to inhabit the body. Each piece emerges from a research process that explores two simultaneous gestures: recontextualizing industrial objects within everyday life, and reintroducing those same objects once functional through wear back into the artistic space as sculptures.s
Functionality, within SOPADEVODKA, does not aim for comfort. It exists as a justification for the object’s presence, a way to grant value and purpose without diluting its raw materiality. The brand works with crude materials: steel, leather, and unrefined surfaces, focusing not on the material itself but on the tension produced by combining elements that historically resist each other.
SOPADEVODKA’s work is an ongoing investigation into gesture, displacement, and the dialogue between structure and emotion. The pieces are not garments or accessories, but wearable sculptures: objects that question the limits between function and expression, transforming the body into an active, living exhibition space.
