Artist Profile
Sónia Travassos
Self-taught artist from Portugal
Sónia Travassos (b. 1984) is a self-taught artist from Portugal. She was always curious about art and its expressions since her early years. During her studies in the Law School, art and creativity were her escape from the stiffness of the civil law books. Later on, as a psychology student, Sónia found herself exploring the complexity of pain in relationships, inspiring herself to create a very organic and colorful painting approach, translating feelings to the canvas in a very intense way.
Since then, Sónia is dedicated full time to painting working mostly in neo-expressionist style. Sónia’s art is represented in private collections all around the world, and much exhibited in collective and individual exhibitions, such as Anthology Biennial of Art, Millan, Italy; Goy Art, Rome, Italy.
