SOLAR SEEDS OF JOY

Sofia Areal has been building one of the most interesting and original pathways in contemporary art, inheriting emblematic aspects of abstract and simultaneous art from the Delaunay couple, who found new inspiration for their work in Portugal between 1915 and 1916. In Sofia Areal's work and the serigraphs presented in various color variations, we see the emergence of a solar universe, a whole grammar of a Cosmos, the source of all movement, the synthesis of order and Chaos, fragmented yet united, a blazing and simple heart of Spring with its flowers born from the seeds of joy, always at the beginning and center of life, its beginning and eternal radiance.

Sofia Areal

Sofia Areal was born in Lisbon in 1960. She began her training in England with the Textile Design and Foundation Course at Hertsfordshire College of Art and Design in the UK, and in Lisbon, she attended the workshops of Engraving and Painting at Ar.Co. As a multidisciplinary artist, she has been developing work in various areas such as painting, drawing, illustration, graphic design, ceramics, tapestry, and scenography. Her resume includes many exhibitions, including "YES", the individual and anthological exhibition of the past ten years of her work, which took place at Cordoaria Nacional in 2011, and the collective and itinerant exhibition "Four" with Manuel Casimiro, Jorge Martins, and Nikias Skapinakis. In 2013, she held the exhibition "Motionless in the light, but dancing" in Mexico City with the support of the Portuguese Embassy and Michelle Aizpuru, sponsored by various Portuguese entities. She is a recognized cultural figure and was photographed by Carmela Garcia, alongside other illustrious female artists, for "*13 Polyptych", an exhibition held in 2012, which aimed to reinterpret the famous and enigmatic Panels of São Vicente de Fora. In the same year, she was awarded the Femina Prize for Visual Arts. She is represented in important public and private collections, in institutions such as Banco Espírito Santo, the Center for Modern Art of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, the Carmona e Costa Foundation, the PLMJ Foundation, and the Museums of Contemporary Art in Funchal and Elvas.
