Susana Solano does not participate in the things that surround her; she observes them. The artist captures the breath of things by experiencing them, and breathes it into her work. This breath materializes in objects where meditation and feeling are predominant. Solano considers sculpture as a journey through time. As she herself says: "Art hides the meaning of time—the time that leads to silence, to oblivion, to loss... Art belongs to the canvas that encapsulates the temporal and remembers it, the lights that illuminate it, and the gazes that approach it to explore what they entail. The experiences that make up the surface of our lives are numerous. But a few manage to penetrate like arrows into the core of existence, thus reaching certain neurological zones that constitute the reservoir of our actions and thoughts and the intimate source of our emotions." These profound experiences – ours – are completely transformed, whether voluntarily or unconsciously, into a universe dominated by memory and image. The image of memory is stored outside of time, floating freely, appearing or disappearing at will.

The sculptor's preferred material is stainless steel, and it is surprising to see that she creates her most important pieces with such great economy of means.

Susana Solano has participated in numerous international artistic events such as Documenta VIII and IX (1987 and 1992), the Sao Paulo Biennale (1987), the Sculpture Projekte in Münster (1987) and the Venice Biennale (1988 and 1993); and different facets of her work have been presented in important recent exhibitions; at the MACBA in Barcelona in 1999, at the Museo de Arte Moderna, in Sintra and Granada in 2001 and finally at the FONDACION ICO in Madrid in 2007-08 where Susana Solano showed her projects associated with architecture.
