Sophie Costa

Sophie COSTA is inspired by action painting, pop art and new realists in her upcycling work. Her art involves recycling and breathing new life into cardboard, magazines, torn-up posters, crushed cans, records etc.

Striking and instinctive colors, handwritten graphic writing, diverse textures printed on her canvas like a fingerprint, an energetic and lively materiality.

Sophie COSTA collects and organises multiple elements to leave a mark, a testimonial, like an allusion...Her approach to the world is sensory, visual and graphic. Her paintings are pictorial expression of emotions, feelings, thoughts or comments about others, the environment and the world. Through her work, she asks or states facts, is ironic or has fun. Sophie tries to give'' touch'' to a vision.

A ""matiériste"" painter (post-war movement supported by Michel Tapie) and visual artist, she likes thickness, plaster, glued objects... She uses everyday materials and transforms them, revisiting and sublimating them.
