In this piece, Sofiya addressed the feeling of novelty and hesitation in front of a blank canvas which she faced while working on this painting, the first one in her sophomore year at School of Visual Arts and the first one after a long break. She is making the lighting one of the main subjects of the painting by contrasting the warm light of the lamps with cold blue light from the canvas.

Sofiya Kuzmina
United States
« Creating images layered with narratives helps me escape the limits of spoken language. »
Sofiya Kuzmina is an exciting Russian-American mixed media painter based in New York, who has exhibited her work throughout the US and garnered impressive social media success. Growing up alongside two historically opposing nations, she learned to see power in the expression of sincerity and vulnerability. Her work is thus centered on intimate moments of her own life, and she explores complex yet relatable ideas such as immigration and identity. Kuzmina's subject matter defines the choice of the materials she uses, which can vary from traditional oil paint and watercolor to flowers, Christmas lights, and aluminum mesh.
