SOFIA VARGAS · 2019-05-21T00:00:00Z

[SOFIA VARGAS - b.1988] is a 2010's painter whose work explores the intersections of body and landscape. Her practice centers around oil painting as a mother language, often drawing from her immediate surroundings, she weaves scenes of daily life into multifaceted compositions that oscillate between figuration and abstraction. The lighting—acts as both subject and structure, illuminating transient backdrops in built environments, abandoned spaces and pristine domains. Her work resists spectacle, favoring an intimate, observational approach that reframes the narrative of the contemporary experience through the inmediate perception offered by the pictorical medium.
