Sonja Schmid

1955


Zurich, Switzerland

With an array of solo and group exhibitions internationally, and public commissions Sonja is widely acclaimed for her abstract works of nature on canvas and Plexiglas

“For me, art is an expression of the inner. Searching, restless language of the soul, compulsive restlessness to serve nature and its beauty and to reflect it in a different form. As well as expression of me moving, I try to inspire my pictures so that their beauty shines and triggers joy and satisfaction in the viewer”.

“More and more I follow a topic that concerns me and implemented it in a subtle way, thus not recognizable to everyone at first glance. My inspiration is primarily from nature, from stones, walls, variety of colours. From encounters, experiences, shows, art, light, shadows from everything I encounter and from what moves me.”

“Contrast always plays a major role in the design of creativity. For me, this is also one of many explanations why artists are often not better people. They push the boundaries and then rage in art. Art is not only a matter of taste, but also requires an altercation with the artist, his history and what pushed him as a theme to create this work. Only then can one begin to grasp the beauty or even ugliness of the work”.
