Sofia Sinibaldi

Sofia Sinibaldi constructs visual compositions through a layered, additive methodology that merges direct photography and portable flatbed scanner captures. By scanning or photographing urban surfaces—during her walks and commutes—she creates montaged forms printed on delicate tissue paper and layered under clear acrylic or windows. The resulting images hover between photographic trace and abstraction, populated by faint cues—bus tickets, graffiti fragments, film sprocket edges—that dissolve into atmospheric washes of color and texture. Sinibaldi’s work resists legibility, favoring the ephemeral, associative, and tactile experience of looking Her practice embraces fragility and process: the tissue substrates tears, creases, and shifts; each alteration becomes part of the composition. This openness provokes ambiguity and invites the viewer to fill narrative gaps. She treats drawing and photographic capture as equal languages of expression, where meaning emerges through repetition, iteration, and accumulation. Her layered sensibility evokes afterimages—semi-remembered, shifting, unresolved—and creates a visual tension between memory and forgetting, physical surface and emotional resonance. Ultimately, Sinibaldi offers immersive work that rewards close observation, prompting reflection on perception, impermanence, and the poetics of the everyday. ...
