About The Artwork
I love to paint the natural world, but I also love to play with colour. This painting allowed me to do both. The inspiration came from a photograph a friend took on a country walk. I was struck by the way the silver birch stood out against the landscape and how it reflected in the water below. I approached this painting in multiple stages. Firstly I created a quick digital sketch to allow me to play with composition and colour more easily. Then I painted a small version in watercolour to get a feel for how it would translate to paint. Finally I painted this oil painting. Oil is by far my preferred medium because I love the thick, wedgy texture you can get. Also I find the colours are more vibrant than any other medium. You will notice there are a lot of expressive marks in the painting as I really let myself go for it with this one.

Sophia is a British artist living in Spain. In early 2022 following a spiritual awakening she sold everything she owned and moved to Andalusia to paint full time. Her recent solo show at Green & Stone, Chelsea, in November 2022, was hugely well received, particularly in respect of her vibrant contemporary portraits. Sophia is known for her bold yet sensitive use of colour, eye-catching compositions, and expressive brushwork. She says: 'much as I love capturing the natural world in paint, I am first and foremost a portraitist and I almost exclusively paint women. There is a technical aspect to my work, particularly in the exploration of colour and the possibilities of oil paint, which I use exclusively for portraiture. At their heart my portraits are concerned with showing strong, individualistic, women who challenge society’s ideas of how they should dress and express themselves. In this respect I consider my work to be political.'
