Sonia Ebling (1918–2006) was a Brazilian sculptor and teacher whose career moved between Brazil and Europe. Born in Taquara, in Rio Grande do Sul, she studied painting and sculpture at the Schools of Fine Arts of Rio Grande do Sul and Rio de Janeiro between 1944 and 1951. In 1955 she won the Award for Foreign Travel from the National Modern Art Salon in Rio de Janeiro for her sculpture Woman and Bird.
She remained in Europe until 1968, studying in Paris with Ossip Zadkine and receiving a grant from the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation. She exhibited at the Salon de la Jeune Sculpture at the Rodin Museum, the Tri-Veneta Art Biennial in Padua and the Salon de Réalités Nouvelles. She represented Brazil at documenta in Kassel and took part in the seventh São Paulo Biennial.
Back in Brazil, she received a commission for a relief for the Palace of the Arches in Brasília. In 1970 she taught a course in cement sculpture at the School of Fine Arts of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, and six years later she was appointed to the sculpture chair at that university. She died in 2006.
Her work, with its refined forms, draws on pre-Columbian, African and Egyptian sources and, according to critic Jacob Klintowitz, shares affinities with Henry Moore, Brancusi, Giacometti and Marino Marini.
