The horse by Sonya in Auckland
The horse
This work was painted during my years of study at the Moscow Academic Art Lyceum. Using oil paints, I explored the classical still-life composition, combining a plaster cast of a horse’s head with drapery, ceramics, and sculptural details. The piece reflects academic training in form, light, and texture, while also developing an eye for balance and atmosphere within the composition.

Meet the Artist
Auckland, New ZealandMy 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.
