"I paint because it is the most honest way I know to transform life into meaning. After 30 years in a demanding corporate career, I reached a point where structure, strategy, and performance no longer spoke to my soul. What I needed — and what I offer through my work — was liberation" - Sonia J.

Art became the space where I could breathe again, where chaos could transform into flow, where scars and memories could find voice in color, gesture, and texture. I left the corporate world to embrace this voice fully — a voice that is raw, feminine, and deeply human. I paint because I believe art is more than an object; it is a portal. A passage between body and mind, between silence and expression, between what is visible and what is hidden. My canvases are not meant to offer instant clarity, but to invite depth, reflection, and transformation — for me, and for those who encounter them.

 I create to connect — to turn resilience into beauty, vulnerability into strength, and personal memory into universal resonance. Through my art, I reclaim freedom and invite others to do the same. The emotion behind lyrical abstraction remains the same, but its source is different: it is mine, deeply personal. Through it, I hope to inspire, transform, and empower others — creating art with its own identity, art that transcends trends and time, carrying aesthetic sophistication and profound psychological depth.

My artistic language is rooted in emotional abstraction, where layered, tactile surfaces become a vessel for transformation and feminine power. Each painting is a dialogue between texture and intuition, between what is felt and what is seen.

Themes: Creation, transformation, and freedom — the feminine journey from control to flow.
Materials: Acrylics, oil, gesso, sand, and modeling paste, building organic surfaces that evoke textile memory and ancestral rhythm.
Palette: Rich, natural tones of blues, greens, reds, yellows and golds, merging as if they had grown together from within the canvas itself.
Influences: Inspired by Joan Mitchell, Lee Krasner, Pollock, and post-war Abstract Expressionism, my work continues this lineage through a distinctly personal lens.
Essence: A balance between chaos and calm — where texture becomes emotion and gesture becomes language.
