Sofia J. is a young artist child based in the Pakistani Himalayas with her Mother.
She is drawn to paint a Feminine and aspirational world: women of the world, fashions and attires of the world, animals as cognizant and autonomous beings in fantasy worlds, family scenes, natural scenes, homes and cityscapes, jewelry designs and costumes, and snapshots of personal transformation as depicted by sketches.
While fantastic, her characters are sentient and sensible, as if her name, Sofia, meaning Wisdom/Soul, infuses them with her power. ♥️
On this website, you will find her original art, as well as print-on-demand products and other valuables.
In Sofia’s world, art is a way of being, of learning and of expression. Entirely homeschooled and often trained in a community setting and while on field trips with her Mama — collecting and studying herbs and working with jewelry — Sofia has been taught the skills of observation, questioning, play, curiosity, engagement.
Her artisan-teacher Mama, who work with herbs & gemstones, taught her the way of the flora and the mineral kingdom in Sofie’s earliest years. As she entered the second decade of her life, Sofie is being taught languages, arts, money management, social and behavioral skills, and household chores in addition to obtaining skill-centered education. This way, Sofie becomes the master of many areas of life, as she grows in a girl with mastery, vision and depth. (Aameen.)
The methodology with which Sofia has been taught and also with which she teaches herself (it is a bit of both) is reflected in her work and shared in the blog from time to time.
On this site, in addition to admiring and buying her art, you can learn more about her method, outlook, and way of life.
Salaam! <3
