Sophie Mahir

My work is all about colour; colour in its own place, and finding the hidden colours within the shapes & forms that encompass my immediate environment.

Inspired initially by the transient tones and often, chaotic organisation of nature, I have examined movement and the rhythms of the external world. Using these structures, I have started to examine the thought processes and feelings associated with representing colours on a two-dimensional surface.
