Sophie - Sof Voigt - Chadeyron
I paint, I search and I create in all directions until the world dreams again – and sometimes laughs along the way.
Biography
The French artist Sof has lived in Krefeld for over thirty years and has worked as a freelance artist for twenty-five. In 2016, she opened her 400 m² studio in Krefeld-Hüls – a place of vibrant artistic research and encounter. Trained at Paris-Dauphine and Penninghen, and as a guest student at the Beaux-Arts in Paris, she pursues an interdisciplinary approach that combines painting, assemblage, and upcycling. As a mother of four, she draws a powerful, humorous energy from life itself, which is reflected in her large-format, intensely colored works.
