Sonia Vinograd
Collection
I am a professional ballet dancer and fine artist of Spanish and Argentinian descent, currently residing in Oslo.
My academic background in art has been extensive, having studied various facets of the field, including technology of the theatre, scenography, and design during my early years and dance conservatory.
However, my painting journey only began in 2017, and I am largely self-taught.
Sonia's Statment
“In my artistic practice, I have found a harmonic connection between the realms of dance and fine art. As both a dancer and a fine artist, I possess a deep desire to imprint and perpetuate the ever-changing nuances of human emotions onto a blank page. My work is inspired by the enchanting magic found in nature's breathtaking beauty as well as the rich and intricate tapestry of human emotions. The magic of nature serves as a constant source of inspiration in my artistic journey. From the gentle rustling of leaves in a breeze to the magnificent hues of a sunset sky, I am driven to distill these ethereal elements into compositions that resonate with viewers on an emotional level. When I create, dance becomes a gateway to introspection and self-discovery.
By immersing myself in the rich layers of human emotions, I hope to inspire contemplation, reflection, and ultimately a renewing sense of wonder. I believe art has the power to transport us beyond our everyday realities and connect us on a fundamental level. In this age where external chaos often overwhelms us, I believe that the power of art lies in its ability to connect us deeply to our emotions and surroundings. By imprinting these raw experiences onto a blank page or through movements on stage, I aspire to ignite transformative journeys for both myself and all those who engage with my work.”
