sofia barao | plasticienne

Just like walls conceal several layers, several lives, several stories; my artwork is adorned with painting, papers, drawings and images. Inexorably, time moves on and erases all.

I then strive to keep a trace, to question identity and memories, to reinvent a story, to rebuild a past, maybe my own.

I spent my childhood in a nostalgic country embraced by a family made of broken dreams that can certainly explain that. Inspiration comes from private atmospheres and emotions from my past: feelings, nature, day-to-day, traditions, little things, poetry…

I question myself about the relationship between women and time that passes by: through them, on them, with them.

My work is definitely about my quest for my missing part…
