In her landscape and narrative works, Sofya Mirvis renders the unseen through the prism of the familiar. By investigating the marks, movements and patterns found in nature accompanied by collaged cultural elements placed in unfamiliar surroundings, her work explores displacement, perception, spirituality and folklore. Filtered through the lens of a female immigrant artist, Sofya blends external and internal references, experiences and visions. In her artist talk, Sofya will discuss the role of collage in her unique mixed media pieces. From the early days of dissecting National Geographic magazines to layering textures, narratives and concepts, this talk will focus on several recurring themes in many di erent iterations of the artist’s work. Sofya has developed multiple techniques that merge collage, ink, paint, and dry media to create unexpected material and image interactions. She is hopeful that one or more of these ideas will resonate with participants as they explore their own relationship with the collage medium.
