Cityscapes
“There is a lot to discover in a cityscape”. To create a cityscape, Sophia first of all looks for that part of the city she wants to capture. She photographs from different angles and searches for a composition using the atmosphere and unique features. Working from large to smaller areas and details, Sophia composes the cityscape on canvas creating her very own visual language by abstracting the image wich remains recognizable.
