My brother lived in Chicago for a number of years. That is why I went to Chicago. From the Hancock tower we had a beautiful view of the city. I have taken many pictures of this view because I wanted to make a Chicago painting in my studio at home. I chose to build the painting in shades of gray and use a lot of color in the middle. Yet it remains very clear Chicago because of the recognizable buildings. The painting is finished with a layer of varnish.
The sides of the artwork are also painted which means that the painting continues on the sides.
The painting has an aluminium frame with sliding suspension cable.

Sophia Heeres was born in 1981 in Zuidlaren. Raised in Schipborg, in the middle of the River Valley the Drentsche Aa.
She lived and worked in Groningen from 2002 to 2014, where she graduated in 2006 towards autonomous painting at the Academie Minerva.
 Nowadays Sophia lives and works in Amstelveen.

After a process of experimenting with various styles and techniques Sophia has developed a unique style.
Her paintings are characterized by powerful compositions, in which each part has its own color, which are lined in at the last minute. Through the use of lines the work is being abstracted.   Light and dark are omitted in order to keep the simplicity of the theme.


In her current work, colors are more and more mixed. During the painting process, Sophia is looking for a balance in her compositions, background and the use of color. Colors are brought together by emotion.
 By her color palette she creates her own reality in which recognition persists.

She finds inspiration in life. It begins with watching. To watch is different than to see. Inspiration can be a snapshot, a hunch, seeing much simplified forms of a city or in nature, a glint of water or for example a beautiful color.

The difference between watching and seeing gives the process movement and leads to the formation of ideas and images in its own colorful language.

 

"I see and think color, with inspiration from the inside and the outside. Inspiration is like making a picture. It is a snapshot which triggers you to do something with it. Finding new ways is as challenging as the processes, which have led to my current work."

 

Works of art by Sophia Heeres are included in the collections of public authorities, financial institutions, funds, educational institutions, businesses and individuals.
