Ana Alonso Albarracínis a multidisciplinary artist and architect based between London and Margate. Born in Madrid and raised across Italy, Scotland, Germany and France, she works across visual art, architecture and immersive environments.
Currently developing a new print-focused body of work at Resort Margate, her practice is concerned with how ideas develop through production and how process shapes the finished piece. Her work has evolved from early experiments with digital collage and drawing into an exploration of traditional craft and material processes, including drypoint, etching and, more recently, screenprinting.
Alongside her personal practice, she works at Experience Studios, where she designs immersive experiences and entertainment spaces.
Previously, she worked at Yinka Ilori Studio, creating sculptural installations and decorative objects for clients including MoMA, Meta, and the Brit Awards. She studied at The Bartlett School of Architecture (UCL) and later trained at The Royal Drawing School in London. Her work has been exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts (London) and at La Galleria Nazionale (Rome).

From the essay “Redesigning Ghosts” by Paula Vilaplana, inCosmowomen: Places as Constellations —“Instead of assuming pop as a totalizing medium, Alonso infiltrates its layers and appropriates its tools to create new and liberating visions. She understands the game and reworks the rules, marking the beginning of a new era for women in architecture.”
