Sophie Roman

Sophie Roman (b. Kyiv, Ukraine) is a prominent contemporary multimedia artist whose practice operates as a living, visual archive of modern Kyiv. Rooted in the methodology of psychological documentation, Roman observes and captures the immediate raw textures of daily life, tracking the subtle yet profound shifts in human emotion, body language, and collective behavior. Her work stands as an intimate, time-informed testament to how prolonged wartime reality shapes and alters the individual and social psyche. Living and working within the epicenter of these shifts, Roman transforms her personal sensory experiences into powerful visual metaphors, charting a chronological map of human resilience, adaptation, and vulnerability.
