20^th Century Spanish
 
Soria began studying at the School of Arts and Crafts of Valencia. At the end of the Spanish Civil War he went into exile in France and did not come back to Spain until 1953. Upon his return he became a reference point for Spanish non-objective art. In the late 1950s he joined the in Valencia and then later the Mediterráneo movement.

At the beginning his work revealed an expressionist touch coming from his non-objective period. However, it later evolved towards a more polished finish and greater care for the underlying structural elements.

His style focused on a research into matter, incorporating elements of iron, copper and tin that would gradually gain in volume until placing his works half way between painting and sculpture in the 1960s.
