Artist Statement:
Art for me is the best way for
understanding the world and
myself, a kind of inner
conversation or meditation.
The most exciting aspect of
this process is when someone
else tries to interpret my
images, often seeing things in
the work that I never thought
of myself, thus carrying on
this conversation and taking
it to another level. My work
tends to focus on the
evolution of human being, on
who we are and what we could
be, the true alchemy of
spirit, the magic of creation,
the transformative force of
love. Some people describe my
art as “fantasy art”,
“symbolism”, or sometimes even
“surrealism”. I try to avoid
any labels and just depict the
reality of some inner space –
a unique world that makes us
who we are.
In most of my works I use
traditional graphic art
mediums, such as Indian ink,
graphite, soft and oil
pastels, and color pencils,
sometimes mixing different
materials and experimenting
with new textures and
techniques. Some of my recent
works include acrylic on
canvas and digital
compositions.

Artist Reviews:
“Sona creates her own world of
myth and magic filled with
strange creatures and
miraculous events. Her works
border between realistic and
phantasmagorical, reflecting
the realism of the dream.
Sona’s art being influenced by
the modern and medieval, by
the East and the West, remains
exclusively individual.”
“The public...

| Your Personal Biography |
Sona is a freelance artist from Armenia, currently based in Brisbane, Australia. Living all her life between two worlds - words and images - and not having a traditional art education, she has always been a little bit “outsider”, staying aside from the mainstream art life and institutions. However, she often attracted attention of art collectors, professional critics, and general public. Sona’s artwork has been exhibited in Armenia, Europe, and the US, which included a solo exhibition in Washington DC. Some of her works are held in private collections in Russia, Europe, and the US.
Since 2008 Sona lives in Brisbane, Australia, working as a freelance artist and illustrator. She offers art for children’s and adult books, editorial and publishing clients |
