short biography

SofiaG is a scientist and a photographer born in Greece. Her academic career has given her the opportunity to relocate to the Netherlands, and to extensively travel around the world. Influenced strongly by the colors of the Agean Sea and the vibrant city life of Athens and Amsterdam, she experimented with a wide variety of photographic themes. Very much like the changing experiences in her life a strong dynamic and expression is reflected in her work. Airports, stations, seaside stories, mountains. People on the move.

Based on her scientific studies on nano-structures, she recently turned towards digital design and architecture. She has thus built a connection between the microscopic structures found in nature and the human-made expression of form and function that surrounds us. Both are encountered in different levels of complexity and in a variety of colors, shapes and forms. Photographically, this exploration is translated to images that probe further than the surface. The ultimate aim is to alter the obvious with an infusion of sentiment and illusion.

Currently, she lives in Switzerland, and she is developing an interactive project that connects digital arts with contemporary dance.
