I HAVE BEEN PROCESSING

MY LIFE

THROUGH ART AS LONG

AS I CAN REMEMBER

She began to mine her surroundings, her life, and her passions to build a personal iconography,

creating artworks with these motifs to express her own unique view of the world. This view evolved to include the bold and energetic styling of youth street culture that infused her upbringing in Cathedral City, California.

Ever industrious, and built of a mighty work ethic,

Sofia continued to make art for public consumption. For the next half decade, she painted over 39 murals from which a populist, feminist, pro-equality message would emerge.

Sofia’s diving deep with a new body of paintings

that belie the maturity of a woman stepping into her own vulnerability. What has unfurled is a sort of street surrealism wrapped in the symbolism of her life lived thus far.

These subconscious self-portraits,

guided by a rampantly colorful memory, provide fodder to be perpetually mined by the artist for clarity, understanding, and refinement of mission.
