Born in San Sebastián, Spain, Cristina Iglesias has established an international reputation for her immersive installations that often blur the boundaries between sculpture and architecture. Her practice frequently involves the creation of labyrinthine structures and water-based environments that invite viewer interaction and contemplation.

Iglesias works with a diverse range of materials, including steel, glass, bamboo, and straw, to construct complex, textured surfaces. Her signature style often incorporates flowing water and intricate metalwork, creating environments that evoke both organic growth and industrial precision.

In recent years, Iglesias has expanded her influence into curatorial practice, notably organizing the 2026 outdoor sculpture trail for Hauser & Wirth in Menorca. Her career has been marked by significant international recognition, including being the first Spanish woman to exhibit at the Folkestone Triennial.
