Sofie van Thiel (b. 1997) is a Rotterdam-based artist working primarily with the medium of painting. Since graduating from the Willem de Kooning Academy in 2022, her work deals with translating daily impressions and feelings to paint. The painting process is like a dialogue between material and maker. Sofie experiments with how paint, textures and drawing materials react to each other and decides to interfere intuitively, ever in search for balance. As a result the paintings are layered and full of movement, conveying enigmatic moments that can hardly be explained with words.

Solo exhibition Our Shared Breath
De solotentoonstelling Our Shared Breath met werk van Sofie van Thiel is geïnspireerd door het boek ‘Braiding Sweetgrass’ van Robin Wall Kimmerer, waarin de schrijfster haar persoonlijke levenservaring als bioloog, natuurliefhebber en lid van een Amerikaanse inheemse stam met elkaar verbindt. Het startpunt voor Van Thiel komt voort vanuit het citaat ‘We are showered every day with gifts, but they are not meant for us to keep. Their life is in their movement, the inhale and exhale of our shared.
