This abstract artwork features a striking contrast between the dark, angular building façade in the foreground and the vibrant, expressionistic background. The composition is dominated by blocks of varying shades of pink and purple, creating a sense of depth and movement through the use of overlapping shapes and textures. The artist's bold, gestural brushstrokes and the muted, atmospheric tones suggest a moody, introspective atmosphere.

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. Experimentation with materials is central to her practice. She incorporates textiles, stitching, and mixed media to create tactile surfaces that bridge painting and objecthood, emphasizing materiality and physical engagement. Her approach transforms two-dimensional surfaces into immersive environments that challenge conventional notions of space, rhythm, and 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. ...
