I'm Sofia Laskari — a self-taught figurative painter based in London. My work explores vulnerability, body, and emotional intensity through paint, mostly focusing on women. I paint with full presence — it’s how I feel, understand, and move through life. I’m not here to beautify; I’m here to be honest.
In 2024, I became the youngest artist to have a solo show at Saatchi Gallery, and since then, my work has been shown in multiple exhibitions across the UK and abroad. I continue to paint nearly every day, run my own artist community (Laskari Group), and share my process openly on Instagram.
I believe art should be lived, not just hung on a wall.
