Sketching in Montenegro by Sonya in Auckland

My name is Sofya, and I have always been passionate about design, art, and photography. From a young age, creating has been an inseparable part of my life. I studied for over seven years at the Moscow Academic Art Lyceum, where I developed strong skills in painting, drawing, composition, color theory, and anatomy. I work across multimedia art, from pencil sketches to oil painting. I enjoy creating portraits, landscapes, animals, and more, it’s never a problem for me to explore different subjects and techniques. Now based in New Zealand, I continue to grow as an artist, drawing inspiration from both my cultural roots and the world around me.
