Bio
Sofia is an Italian multi-disciplinary artist channeling her body as a medium to reshape perceptions of female representation.
She was born in Florence, surrounded by Renaissance art history and the sexual connotations carried over by the female body. At the age of 17 she moved to London, where her conservative upbringing blurred with the individualism and diversity of a multicultural hub.
In 2020 she received her Master in Fine Art from Central Saint Martins, and despite the challenges of that year, she received prizes and nominations for prestigious awards such as the Ingram Prize and the he GMTF 2021 Film Festival.
After 10 years working as a digital designer in London, she gave up her corporate life to pursue her artistic career. This led her to secure collaborations with international galleries and museums, where she exhibits alongside renowned artists like Jenny Holzer, Annie Leibovitz, Carole Feuerman, and Barbara Kruger, to name a few.
Her practice is greatly inspired by the 1970 feminist art movement, as well the cyberpunk literature theme and the relationship between humans and machines.
