‘When Does the Sea Touch the Sky?’ Painting

Sophia is a Welsh artist currently studying her first year at the Royal College of Art in London. She focuses on the spaces in between the physical forms of the urban landscape, using a bright contrasting palette to accentuate the flowing shapes. The shapes, lines and composition of her work stem from architectural environments associated with water. Sophia’s practice was inspired initially by her love of swimming. She recreates experiences of particular places by recording, using drawing and photography, then remembering and re-imagining, both visually and emotionally. She aims to transfer these experiences into a more interactive environment for the viewer, initiating movement around the exhibited work.
