About

Sofi Protchenko
b. 1992
Sofi is a Ukrainian abstract artist whose work bridges the boundaries between emotion, nature, and interior space. Her paintings are created to evoke harmony and energy, embodying the rhythm of water, the texture of landscapes, and the refined aesthetics of contemporary living.
Trained as an architect and artist in Kyiv, Sofi developed a strong foundation in academic drawing, painting, and spatial design. Her years in architecture gave her a keen eye for proportion, structure, and the ways environments influence human experience. This background informs her practice as a painter, allowing her to approach each canvas with both intuitive freedom and compositional precision.
Sofi’s creative process is deeply connected to the natural world. She works with acrylics, oil pencils, and abundant water, letting organic movement guide the evolution of her paintings. Fluid layers, subtle textures, and shifting tones emerge, echoing the unpredictability of rivers, skies, and forests. Through this method, her canvases become living reflections of nature — emotional landscapes that hold both calmness and intensity.
Her vision is to create paintings that belong in modern, elegant interiors — artworks that not only complete a space, but also carry personal meaning for their owners. Sofi believes that art should outlive trends, becoming part of a family’s story, passed down as heirlooms.
Collectors and designers are drawn to her ability to blend abstraction with emotional resonance. Her works invite viewers to pause, breathe, and rediscover beauty in simplicity. Each painting is not only an object of design but a meditative experience, a reminder of nature’s quiet strength and humanity’s inner depth.
