Sophia Lee Georgas

Sophia Lee Georgas is a visual artist living and working in Sydney after graduating with a Master of Fine Arts in Painting from the National Art School. Georgas was selected as a finalist in the Clyde & Co Art Award 2020, the Grace Cossington Smith Art Award 2021, the Waverly Art Award 2022 and the Fisher’s Ghost Art Award 2022. Georgas attributes her art practice to her fixation with architectural structures dedicated to higher beings from her transpersonal experiences as a child in Greek Orthodox churches. She attempts to render these buildings into painterly ‘thought-forms’ as their perfectly aesthetic and idealistic forms transformed into symbolic elements on her canvas. Vast cavernous spaces, altars and pulpits are translated in colourful and geometric shapes, yet their fragmentation offers an alternate view of these sacred spaces. Dream-like in quality, Georgas’ works offer an alternate scene, one filled with the imperfections of reality.
