Sara Mayoral Jiménez (Madrid, 1993) holds degrees in Fine Arts from the Universidad Complutense de Madrid and the Akademie der Bildenden Künste München.
My artistic practice explores transformation as a fundamental condition of life. I work with sculpture, installation, fermentation, glass, ceramics, sound, and performance, combining organic materials with processes that are constantly changing.
I am interested in the boundaries between the living and the non-living, between preservation and decay, nourishment and decomposition. Fermentation has become an important part of my work: a slow, collaborative process in which microorganisms transform matter over time. It allows me to view the body not as something self-contained, but as an ecosystem in constant exchange with its environment.
Through sensory materials, I create situations in which eating, smelling, touching, and observing become opportunities to reflect on mortality, care, memory, and transformation. My works often navigate the space between the intimate and the biological, using food and bodily processes to reflect on the larger cycles of life and death.
