Wiktoria Sofia
Wiktoria Sofia, a talented fine artist from Poland, graduated from the University of Fine Arts in Rzeszów. Wiktoria specialises in a style best described as magical realism, which draws deep inspiration from mythology, ancient wisdom and the female cycle. Her profound artistic vision translates into both digital and traditional oil paintings, each a vivid tapestry that invites contemplation and introspection.
Her works often portray female characters in an infinite dance between the erotic (life) & the thanatonic (death). Through the language of colour, symbol, and metaphor, she enjoys the art of storytelling, weaving hidden messages into her art. Her paintings depict the delicate balance between the sacred and the profane, highlighting the transformative experiences that lead to personal and spiritual growth. Each piece is a narrative, designed to engage viewers on a deeper level, often accompanied by short poems that enhance the emotional and intellectual connection to her art.
Her artistic journey is deeply influenced by her travels, during which she immerses herself in different cultures, gathering stories, symbols, and wisdom that permeate her work. This amalgamation of experiences manifests in her art as a celebration of the mystical and the mythical, presenting a rich, multi-layered visual experience.
Wiktoria’s mission is to remind viewers of the divinity hidden within their physical experience. She believes that art has the power to awaken dormant potentials within individuals. In addition to her visual creations, Wiktoria is passionate about education and empowerment. She creates courses and hosts workshops aimed at unlocking these hidden potentials, with a particular emphasis on the power of the female menstrual cycle. Through these sessions, she shares tools and insights that help women harness the power of their cycles in order to create their most potent & authentic lives.
