Sophie Fotini, Untitled, 2022.

Interstice ÅTTA Feb 2-Mar 1, 2023

Sophie Fotini was formally trained in the atelier of arts professor Dmitriy Sergienko at Lugansk University of Culture and Arts, though now she is based in Austin TX, where she has exhibited her paintings for a juried exhibition at an exhibition space at St. Mary Magdalene in nearby Manor, TX.  Fotini's artist statement reads: "I am inspired by nature movement, universe and cosmic energy. My philosophy of art is to seek connection between soul/human beings and nature, that every life and every human that was created are perfect in imperfect."

 

Interstice SJU: Helena I. Blom

Fossil Kvinna, ink and collage (detail)

Helena I. Blom b.1962

ARTIST STATEMENT:

My artwork is an exploration of how we humans interact with

nature. In my work I play with the randomness of putting my

own ink paintings together with pictures from old books that

visualize nature. My collages explore the subconscious and

plays with archetypic forms.
