Ava Garcia-Pomales Bock is a contemporary sculptor whose practice centers on material structure, dimensional clarity, and spatial presence. Working across sculpture, relief, and limited edition photography, she develops work that translates three-dimensional form into controlled visual compositions.
Her studio practice evolved from early photographic exploration into an investigation of physical form and surface. After formal studies in visual arts, she completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Sculpture at the University of North Carolina at Asheville, where she focused on industrial materials and dimensional construction. This foundation continues to inform her approach to proportion, restraint, and structural balance.
Bock’s sculptural works emphasize containment, tension, and spatial integration. Materials are selected for their physical presence and ability to engage light and architecture without excess. Photography operates not as documentation, but as translation. Sculptural forms are reinterpreted into two-dimensional compositions that retain material discipline while functioning independently within interior space.
Now based in Oregon, she maintains an independent studio practice. Her work has been exhibited in the United States and Europe and is developed for collectors, galleries, and design-led residential and commercial environments.
