Pratts’ art is deeply influenced by her environment and the diverse media she employs, including paint, sculpture, comics, ceramics, photography, and neon. Working from her expansive studio in L’Hospitalet, Barcelona, she harnesses her surroundings to create pieces that are both raw and refined, blending ephemeral gestures with a commitment to the transformative power of art.

Her recent projects at major Spanish institutions like the Miró Foundation and MACBA showcase her ability to transform materials and spaces, pushing the limits of contemporary painting. Pratts describes her approach as both a personal exploration and an inclusive, celebratory ceremony, inviting all to experience her expansive vision.
