Original Paintings & ArtPrints

Hi, my name is Sophia, 

I am a visual artist, working primarily in watercolor and mixed-media art.

 I have over 18 years of professional experience in the arts, but my passion for art goes much deeper. I have been painting since I was a kid. 

I have been painting and creating art since I was a kid. I also attended art school. I enrolled in Chemical science high school because I wanted to be a scientist, but my heart was always dragged towards the arts, and I really missed it. I realized that I wanted to do what I actually love—art. I switched to studying fine arts, focused on Asian art studies, Japanese culture and arts, where I also learned Japanese calligraphy.
After university, I worked as an artist in a glass studio and designed wall art in a hotel. After I had my daughter, I opened my home studio and started working with international architects and designers on art projects. 

I am a huge fan of Japanese culture and literature, love nature, gardening and I really love animals, I own a cat, a dog and lizard.

My work is about moments. I see our lives and our existence as endless layers of moments. My art is about these moments. The moments that are changing and having impact on other moments. I’m trying to create moments “familiar” to the viewer.
Therefore, I have no specific or favorite subjects, and I am very eclectic in my choice of subjects. I believe in “space” as a subject that looks different with different objects placed in it. This is the reason for my extreme attention to composition in my art.


All that makes my art works very whimsical, often layered, with a lot of abstract spots and points of realistic details. I paint with watercolors because watercolor is the best medium for representing  such a changing structure of world spaces. The transparence of watercolor and the unique painting technique where loose and abstract strokes are used result in an artwork that is capable of capturing a moment that is open for interpretation. 

Everything inspires me to paint: every moment of life has its own beauty and deserves to be captured and to be shown. The only question is how? How to “create” this special moment on paper? How to make it smell like that moment, look like that moment and feel like that moment? These questions are the questions I ask myself during my art process and I always love to learn new ways of color control or new techniques and materials. 

Space is endless and is made of countless moments and my art process is endless as well. I create every day and every moment. When I can’t paint or sketch, I paint in my mind. One moment leads to another. I just can’t stop painting
