SOFIA
2016
The Artgeist series invited collectors to support Ciel Variable magazine by commissioning original artwork created specifically for them. Instead of purchasing a pre-existing piece, the project offered a unique opportunity for collectors to meet with an artist of their choice, discuss their respective aesthetic motivations, and collaboratively define the parameters of the artwork. These rare, direct interactions between artists and collectors resulted in entirely new works. For this initiative, I created a portrait of Sofia, the daughter of collectors Annie Boisvert and Benoit Bienvenue. This personalized artwork emerged from our collaborative discussions, reflecting my unique vision to represent their daughter, Sofia.
