Sophia Savagner's work explores proprioception, mysticism and the quest for identity. Her paintings, sculptures and photographs interrogate notions of power, mortality and sexuality. Her works invite intimacy and anxiety to bear witness to a distant attachment to the world. From the disturbing strangeness to the transcendent, they convey states of transformation in which life convulses. Her practice is rooted in an environmental approach and ethic; her works are mainly created using recycled materials and low-carbon techniques.
Born in 1997 in the United States into a Franco-Greek immigrant family, she grew up in the South of France, where she studied psychology. She decided to take up bi-annual residence in Athens in 2020, where she completed a Master's degree in cultural management, and is currently working there.
