Laura Santana Castaño (La Oliva, Fuerteventura, 1999) is a visual artist. Through photography, sculpture, and installation, her work explores the boundaries between the visible and the invisible, the material and the symbolic, approaching art as a space for experience, care, and critical reflection. Her recent research engages with Canarian identity, collective memory, and the archipelago’s popular knowledge, examining how these persist in bodies, landscapes, and everyday practices.

She holds a degree in Fine Arts from the University of La Laguna (2022) and a Master’s in Artistic Production from the Universitat Politècnica de València (2025). She is currently pursuing a PhD in Arts and Humanities at the University of La Laguna. Her work has been shown in exhibitions such as Fotonoviembre 2021 (TEA Tenerife Espacio de las Artes), Algo(d)Ritmo (Agüita Arte Contemporáneo), Phe Gallery 2023, and the selected artists exhibition of the Manolo Millares Visual Arts Prize by CajaCanarias (2025).
