Sophia Oshodin

Working with acrylic and oil medium, Sophia Oshodin capture internal moments of everyday domestic life that are often ignored or overlooked. Moments that reveal the beauty and chaos in ordinary scenes. Women contemplating, resting, riding and simply existing. Layered in the visual language of rich colours, filled with life and movement.
The use of titles enhances the viewer's understanding of the figures.
Sophia’s figures often occupy familiar spaces, challenging boundaries and exploring perceptions that influence our lives.

Sophia's subjects are conjured from imagination, memory figures and everyday experience. She adds scenes from popular culture. Placing her subjects in relaxing environments to understand the complexities of human experience in society, examining the impact of Mental health and using art as a form of healing.

Sophia's practice documents the human connection between joy, hope and space, overlaying the past with the present through collected shared memory. Sophia's work mirrors reality with a dialogue of emotional connection that engages the viewers in their own interpretations.

Drawing inspiration from African arts, Art history, old master works, contemporary arts, fashion, politics and colours.

Self Taught Painter.
