About

I work from matter and from the human experience held within it. Through sculpture, I explore how materials hold memory and connect us to the land and to life.

I use natural and reused materials, often fragile or transformable, because they speak of cycles and life processes. From an ecofeminist perspective, I understand matter, territory and the body as interdependent realities.

I am interested in crafts, rituals and ancestral clothing, and in all the knowledge that is passed down through the hands.

Aloma Lafontana is a multidisciplinary artist who explores the relationship between matter, identity and sustainability.

Lafontana is a sculptor and costume designer born in Barcelona and based in the Pla de l’Estany. Her path grew out of a reflection on the body and identity, and has evolved into a practice in which the body is present indirectly: through knowledge of crafts, ritual, the revisiting of ancestral dress and the relationship with matter. Her materials, often fragile or transformable, speak of natural cycles and the passage of time.

Her references range from Jana Sterbak and Rebecca Horn to Joan Brossa.

Trained as a sculptor at the Faculty of Fine Arts of Barcelona and at the Iceland University of the Arts (Listaháskóli Íslands), Lafontana expanded her knowledge with a Master’s in Theatre Costume (IED).

Her exhibitions include Oficis oblidats at Galeria Siesta (Barcelona, 2026); Mar intern at Galeria Blanco Mora (Cadaqués, 2026) and Galeria Nokko (Barcelona, 2026); EXEMPLA “World of the Stage” at the International Craft Fair in Munich (2025); Manlleu Galeria d’Art (Manlleu, 2024); Fashion for Bank Robbers at the Maximilians Forum in Munich (2022); Arran de pell at Sismògraf (Olot, 2022); and Desus at Oslo Graphics (Barcelona, 2017).

Since 2010, she has created her own projects and worked on commissions for renowned artists and companies, including Rosalía, Lady Gaga, Isabel Coixet, Rigoberta Bandini and La Fura dels Baus, among others.

She has also worked as a seamstress on international campaigns with renowned artists and brands, such as Johnny Depp for Dior and Lily Collins for Lancôme. She currently combines exhibitions of her work with costume commissions, and occasionally collaborates as a lecturer in workshops and on LCI’s styling master’s programme.
