Sonia Martin
British
British artist Sonia Martin completed graduate and postgraduate studies in Fine Art, as well as earning a Master's Degree in printmaking at Camberwell College of Art in London. She was granted the Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant in 2021 and was shortlisted for the Contemporary British Painting Prize in 2022. Her artwork is part of public collections, including the V&A Museum in London, the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge and the Museo d'Arte di Chianciano Terme in Italy.
Of her work, Sonia Martin states:
“The world I create is from my observations, memory and experiences. Many of the subjects emerge as exiles; migrants between the here-and-now and the world of the imagination. They are explorations of emotions and feelings that constantly redefine themselves in relation to the world.
I'm drawn to how experiences can be simultaneously everyday and extraordinary and in these imaginary works I hope to give expression to this paradox.
My work has been exhibited in many exhibitions both in the UK and abroad, and I am a member of the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers.”
