Production Services
Support for projects at different scales, from public art commissions to smaller, more contained works. The focus is on bringing ideas into material reality, translating artistic intent into clear production processes.
Working as a production manager, I coordinate with fabricators and other key collaborators, overseeing the different stages of development, production and documentation. This includes identifying technical solutions, managing timelines and budgets, and ensuring that the work is realised with precision and coherence.
The service can be adapted to the specific needs of each project, whether as ongoing support throughout the process or at key moments where clarity and coordination are required.
I have extensive experience working internationally and remotely on these types of projects, and can do so in English, Spanish, Catalan, Dutch and French.

Title: Along Lines and Traces - IV Larnaca Biennale 2025
Description: Along Lines and Traces explores how lines, understood here as gestures, movements, marks, and connections, shape the ways we make sense of the world and our place within it. From storytelling and writing to territory, textiles, and embodied practices, lines operate as both traces of past actions and tools for future meaning-making.
Unfolding across multiple venues in the city centre and district of Larnaca, the biennale brings together more than 115 artists from around the world, forming the largest contemporary art event in Cyprus. Through the 6 T´s (or lenses) of text, territory, textile, touch, tune, and time, the project reflects on how material and symbolic forms intertwine, allowing inner worlds to surface through acts of making, sensing, and connection.
Artist: 115+ from more than 40 countries around the world
Year: 2025
Role: Chief Curator
Commissioner and Location: Artion Larnakas, Larnaca Cyprus

Title: UNUS MUNDUS, the spirit of the piece is the potential for dialogue
Description: With Courage, find a Vocation embodying your perspective to serve in the Community. The shapes of the suspended float glass sculptures are abstractions of these words, using a modular typeface, {Josef Albers, Bauhaus, 1923}. Consisting of three shapes: a square, a circle, and a quarter circle of the same radius organized on a grid. The mosaics on the wall behind the mobiles represent the original five islands of East Boston that became one with the landfill used to make the airport – this fragmentation of the internal self is reflected in society. Monika invites viewers to move around the space, embodying the various perspectives, to create a potential for dialogue. Conceived and informed in conjunction with a Community Engagement Workshop held prior, in three sessions “EN-JOY_I SEE U IN ME {in a new perspective}”.

Title: LIMINAL
Description: LIMINAL consists of two colorful, laminated, glass walls in the MSP International Airport. Each wall is installed along a corridor, where it functions as a divider, separating the corridor and the restrooms. As each wall can be viewed from both the interior and exterior of the restroom. Design: Minnesota’s luscious and mesmerizing landscape inspires the mind to reveal what is contained under the subsoil, the passage of time in layers unseen to the eye. These deep sediments, the space, a build-up over years of evolution, and nature's forces working upon matter display a colorful fabric, a space that holds us. Awareness comes from the relationship an individual establishes with themselves, the environment, and one another. In this piece, Time is not just perceived as cyclical, it is also represented as an itinerary, a route, a line that defines migratory routes, as nodes connecting the transitions, progressions, the liminal places in between evolution. The compositions stem from its topography, geological data, the natural surroundings, lines depict the possible aerial routes.

Title: NEUMA ONA
Description: NEUMA - a morphosis of the human being is a sculptural installation inspired by the experience of breath, commissioned after art collector Tatxo Benet Ferran’s recovery from Covid-19 in 2020.The work breathes autonomously, inhaling and exhaling at a human rhythm, filling the space with an abstract yet bodily presence that evokes tension, vulnerability, and resilience.Through material elasticity and controlled randomness, Neuma reflects the fragility and strength of the human condition, where breath becomes both a vital force and a metaphor for existence. The sculpture embodies a transformation of the human being, imperfect and fragile, yet resistant and alive.

Title: AN INTERVAL OF TIME
Description: This project was done in 2020 for Landmarks Public Art Program, Jackson School of Geosciences at the University of Texas at Austin. Lodged between the space of knowing and not knowing, between natural phenomena and scientific inquiry. By drawing inspiration from the primary elements that make up our planet (earth, water, fire, and air) Monika invites the viewer to consider how we reconcile our knowledge of the natural world with our anthropocentric lives. In turning to the geological, she alludes to a complex process of transformation occurring at rates invisible to us. The installation features geological data layered with visuals recorded in locations such as Iceland, New Mexico, Colorado, and her native Colombia. Animations, running on what the artist refers to as “circular canvases”, are displayed on three flat-screen panels. Streams of numbers, satellite imagery, seismic and weather graphs, and mineral geometry are combined with poetry that pays tribute to the earth.

Client Reviews
“In 2020, Sana responded to a call for studio manager at my artistic studio. The tasks were very specific, as I had recently secured a couple of contracts for public art commissions. I needed someone insightful, a polyglot, interdisciplinary, visionary, and most importantly, capable of following my lead and also being able to conduct herself as a leader. Sana created an environment that met my needs; we met online several times a week with care, humor, and great efficiency. She quickly grasped what was required, asked insightful questions anticipating future challenges, and adeptly communicated with fabricators and production managers. We developed a wonderful relationship, and I am immensely grateful for what she brought to my practice. Her vast set of skills never ceases to amaze me, and I made sure to leverage her experience for the benefit of my projects. Thank you, Sana. I am also deeply impressed by your capacity for creation, both for others and yourself.”
— Monika Bravo - Contemporary Artist, Miami, USA
“With a high level of professionalism, consistency, and methodological clarity, Sana curated the entire programme of the Biennale: the main exhibition, the parallel events, and the publication of the official exhibition catalogue. Her communication with participating artists, collaborators, institutional partners, and representatives of the Municipality of Larnaca was continuous, substantive, and impeccably organized. Flexible and attentive in her human approach, yet firm and clear in her artistic vision, she successfully managed the complex demands and inevitable challenges of a large-scale international cultural event.”
— Vassilis Vassiliades - Artistic Director Larnaca Biennale, CY
The exhibition, carefully structured between the main galleries and the first floor of the palace housing the work of Evaristo Valle, as well as the historic gardens, successfully established a dialogue between the setting, the artwork and the audience. It was accompanied by two curatorial texts that contextualized the work with rigor and offered the viewer additional layers of interpretation. From an organizational perspective, her work was equally impeccable, effectively coordinating the different teams involved — production, logistics, communication, installation and education — ensuring that each phase of the project was carried out with precision and demonstrating a high level of professionalism, attention to detail, empathy and a remarkable ability to resolve unforeseen challenges.
The result of the exhibition was outstanding, generating significant interest from both the public and specialized critics, undoubtedly reflecting the rigor, vision, dedication and sensitivity that López Abellán brought to the project.
