Sandra Rein graduated in Fine Arts from the Complutense University in Madrid and then went on to earn a PhD at the University of Castilla-La Mancha. In 2012 she produced a public sculpture for the courthouse in Almendralejo (Badajoz). In 2007 she was an award winner at the Riofisa Sculpture Biennial.
She produces works using a range of techniques linked to drawing, collage and sculpture. Her elaborate compositions are produced with inks and graphite, but also with incisions, dents and cut-outs made with a Stanley knife on paper. As a result, her output is 'reminiscent of the calligraphy of the Far East or of a Japanese garden in its clean precision. It seems to be an exercise in the emptying of interiors'. This description is by critic and curator Alicia Murría. She uses a range of elegant geometrical forms and stylised figures that hint at illustration and the imagery of graphic novels.
Untitled (2001) is an ink sketch on paper. It contains many elements typical of her work: the play of lines and silhouettes, links between figures and backgrounds and the combination of negative and positive in the structuring of the forms.
For over twenty years, Sandra Rein has been working with the Egam Gallery (Madrid), with which she has attended the Arco Art Fair on numerous occasions. Recent shows of her work include 'Ensayo general' ['Dress Rehearsal'] (2015) at the former studio of Lucio Muñoz in Madrid and an exhibition organised to mark the centenary of the Residencia de Estudiantes venue in Madrid in 2010.
