Sofia Echa was born in 1992 in Vladivostok, Russia and settled in New York City in 2013 to continue her pursuit of a career in art after she received a bachelor degree in Economics and Japanese studies at Federal University of Vladivostok, Russia. “The colors I choose depict various feelings and emotions. I am fascinated by the density of gloss I put on top of my paint, which also reminds me of water. Also, my interest is not only what is on the front, but is also what is on the back: I attach stretchers on my works on metal so they have a small shadow on the wall. I love to play with the idea of metal being ‘heavy’ and ‘light’ at the same time. I paint with palette knives and other metal objects. The idea of a hard edge on a hard surface or big, bold canvases is masculine, but the way I apply paint is subtle, my strokes are soft, and it is all about sensuality and femininity for me. In this way, I challenge myself to use ‘strong’ materials, but create a sensual impact by working in a delicate and subtle way.”
