Sophie Hunter

As a self-taught beginner artist, my artistic journey has been an ongoing exploration of creative expression and experimentation. My primary mediums are alcohol markers, gouache, and acrylic paint, and I am drawn to the versatility and vibrancy of these materials. My artistic practice is focused on portraiture, where I explore the use of colour in capturing the essence of my subjects. My interest in portraiture stems from the power of human expression and the unique character that each individual possesses. Through my art, I strive to capture the essence of my subjects in a way that is both visually striking and emotionally impactful. In my work, I primarily focus on masculine forms, using my art as a tool for exploring the nuances of gender binaries. I am fascinated by the complexity of gender identity and the ways in which we express ourselves through our bodies. Through my portraiture, I seek to challenge traditional notions of masculinity and femininity, highlighting the beauty and diversity of human experience. Overall, my art is an ongoing exploration of the human form and the power of colour and expression to convey emotion and meaning. As a beginner artist, I am excited to continue developing my skills and exploring new avenues of creative expression.
