Overview
Born 1992 in Thessaloniki, Greece. Lives and works in London.
Sofia Mitsola is working primarily with paintings in which she investigates the female form. Her invented characters are informed by ancient Greek and Egyptian sculptures, usually depictions of goddesses or mythical creatures. These are set in simple geometric backgrounds with intensely bright and almost flat colours and are depicted naked and larger than human scale. Through them, she is playing with ideas about voyeurism, confrontation, and power.
Sofia Mitsola gives a tour of her London studio ahead of Villa Venus: The Garden opening at Pilar Corrias Savile Row (5 June–20 July 2024).
