About The Artwork
I look in particular at the architecture surrounding watery spaces, as well as the imagery created from the moving water and reflections. I use a bright colour palette to accentuate the climactic perspective, the light and shadows of different environments. Here, I wanted to express the vibrant and explosive seafront in Umhlanga, Durban. From afar the precision of the imagery creates the impression of a printed effect, but up close the intricate layers of acrylic are revealed which uncover the numerous brushstrokes. I want to create a contrast between the harsh geometric forms and the texture created by the brush marks on the canvas. I purposely apply the acrylic in this way to leave a humanistic mark and to create intimacy between the viewer and the painting.

United Kingdom
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.
