Ana Sting grew up an only child in a small city just outside Barcelona, where solitude became her first collaborator. With parents who worked long hours, afternoons and school holidays became a space she had to fill herself. She poured them into creative pursuits—dancing, painting, theater, musicals—activities that stitched together the beginnings of her artistic identity. That early independence became the seed of a multidisciplinary practice spanning performance, painting, photography, film, and mixed media.
Her personal work is deeply autobiographical, orbiting around her personal healing journey and the tangled connections between the self, others, and the cosmos. It often weaves in her fascination with the spiritual and the esoteric, exploring unseen forces, symbolic languages, and the liminal spaces between reality and imagination. From her first solo shows in Barcelona (Inner Personalities, 2022) to the electric chaos of Los Angeles (Assembly, 2022), the desert heat of Jaipur for the Altar Art Residency (2023), and the spotlight of Madrid’s major art fairs (UVNT, 2023; JUST MAD, 2025), Ana’s exhibitions have mapped a journey of personal reclamation and transformation. In 2025, she unveiled her solo exhibition ‘My War Against Love Is Over’ in Madrid, and joined landmark group shows such as ‘Made in Spain’ in Ibiza and ‘The Eighth Day’ in Barcelona.
Alongside her artistic practice, Ana develops a distinct body of commercial work — collaborative projects with brands, designers, and artists. While this work carries her signature sensitivity and visual depth, it inhabits a different sphere: one of fashion, culture, and image-making for a broader public. She has created for Adidas, Cartier, Nike, Netflix, Stella McCartney, YSL Beauty, and more, and has worked with talents including Rosalia, Dua Lipa, Grimes, Idris Elba, Nathy Peluso, C. Tangana, and Ellie Goulding & Jorja Smith. Her editorial collaborations have appeared in Harper’s Bazaar UK, I-D, Esquire, Playboy, Wonderland, and Lula Japan.
The press has followed her steps—from Vogue Spain to Nowness —documenting an artist who refuses to separate the poetic from the raw, and who sees art as an act of reclamation: a negotiation between beauty and damage, and a reminder that even the fragments can be made whole again.
