Sophie Schweizer (*2002) lives and works in Vienna, Austria.In addition to her artistic practice, she has worked in curatorial assistance, exhibition organization, and institutional mediation within the Viennese contemporary art context.
Working primarily with oil and acrylic on canvas, her practice explores themes ranging from mundane structures to emotionally charged experiences, often rooted in everyday situations and spaces. Her paintings are built up through sensitive, layered processes and are approached introspectively, favoring subtle shifts over overt
expressiveness. Schweizer frequently draws from found compositions and collected fragments such as photographs taken in passing, overheard conversations, written notes,
dreams, and fleeting thoughts, which are later reinterpreted and transformed on canvas. Self-portraiture plays a recurring role in her work, functioning less as direct representation and more as a vehicle for projection, narrative, and emotional inquiry. Her recent works investigate moments of play focusing on
delicate thresholds where lightness gives way to tension, intimacy, or unease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
