Sofía Berakha transforms the boundaries between abstraction and representation, weaving together oil and acrylic on canvas with textiles and found objects to create visually dynamic compositions. Her works frequently combine geometric patterns, vibrant colors, and layered textures, reflecting her interest in the rhythms of urban life and the nuances of human perception.

Through her innovative combination of forms and materials, Berakha’s work consistently investigates themes of identity, memory, and the urban landscape. Her practice invites viewers to engage with layered visual narratives and the subtleties of material presence, establishing a nuanced dialogue between abstraction, experience, and the environments that shape contemporary life. ...
