Sonia Vinograd Guidotti

Spanish/Argentinian artist based in Oslo. Born in 1995 in Barcelona.

Sonia is a fine artist and professional ballet dancer, member of Den Norske Opera & Ballett.

Mainly a self-taught artist, although her studies have always been connected to art, during her early years and during dance conservatory, including technology of the theatre, scenography and design.

Her main subjects are landscapes, especially water and boats in watercolour. At the same time, she explores the concepts of light and movement in abstract works, recreating the magic and poetry of nature and how we appreciate it.

As a painter and ballet dancer, it is showing the beauty of emotions through movement, of the body, either as a whole or with the extremity of my arm through a brushstroke, that lets me communicate further than the everyday things. We all are in awe when we see magic. And magic is everywhere: the wind waving the sea, moving clouds; temperature creating steam, cristalizing; light shinning through and creating inimaginable views and colours.. and it all happens in movement, in an instant, it flows. That is what I try to portray. I can't keep a dance performance (an instant of magical feelings) forever, but I can try to portray how I feel the magic of nature, or human emotions, forever.
