Out of the window (2014) Painting by Sofia Sguerri

Sofia Sguerri, born in 1989 in Arezzo (IT), is a visual artist and performer.
She studied at the Istituto d'Arte in Arezzo, and afterwards got her degree at the Accademia di Belle Arti, Firenze. At the same time she also studied theater and dance, specializing in modern and jazz techniques as well as improvisation. She studied Contact Improvisation with various international artists and teachers.

Sofia Sguerri's artistic output encompasses a vast range of artistic languages including photography, video, sound, performance art, installations, painting and movement. She is dedicated to exploring and teaching visual arts as well as movement and stage arts like improvisation, contact improvisation and physical theatre, creating workshops that experiment with these types of physical interaction.
Her works originate from a profound attention for the individual and his everyday life, and from the body in relation to the space and the light. The relation between personal memories and moods - that transform and evolve in time - is the necessary impulse to address themes such as identity, contradiction, critique and responsibility.
Starting from an introspective research that puts itself in relation with time, places and people, her works appear as investigations for herself and for the spectator, with the intent of making the public increasingly engaged with - and part of - the work of art itself, creating a shared experience as authentic as possible.

In 2015 together with Sandra Gomez (Colombia) she founded Colectivo Frenesia, a collective for scenic creation, and together with Carlos Castello (Mexico) she founded La Falena, a group for illustration and visual art. She also collaborated with CARPA (collective for participation art - Mexico).
