About
My name is Sofia Fresia, I live and work between the upper Val Bormida and Turin where I studied Painting at the Albertina Academy of Fine Arts.
My artistic practice arises from the desire to observe and critically rework contemporaneity, especially the new difficulties and responsibilities that being young citizens today in the so-called welfare society entails.
Through brightly colored paintings I try to suggest an interpretation of today’s life that is less gray and more proactive, an invitation to see a glimmer of light even in these uncertain times.
The elements present in my canvases often have an autobiographical reference, linked to my experience as a swimmer and traveling hiker.
Portfolio
The works I create are mainly oil paintings on canvas, sometimes in association with recycled materials.
Inside them, the visual references linked to my experience give life to surreal compositions that intend to provide ideas for active reflection on specific environmental and social issues, also linked to the search for one’s own path and identity in a constantly changing world.
