Discover the contemporary work of Sophie Ghabris

I am a self-taught artist exploring the world through a unique and unconventional perspective. Raised with a blend of Swedish, Lebanese, and French influences, my identity has always been as dynamic and multifaceted as the places I've called home. My work bears traces of my multicultural background, with influences from the countries where I have lived: Sweden, Lebanon, and France. My art is not just a presentation of my creative power; it is a reflection of my inner world. Each piece is a testimony to the mosaic of experiences that have shaped me – from the solitude of childhood to the deep loss of a beloved father. For me, art is a place for exploration and self-expression. Through my work, I strive to challenge the conventional and invite the viewer to see the world in a new way. I mainly use acrylic paints in my paintings and sketches. While I primarily work on canvas now, my first artistic attempts were on paper. The figures in my paintings deliberately embody asymmetry, as I consciously choose not to adhere to conventional rules or standards of beauty. In my view, art resembles a dream: it lacks a strict logical structure, allowing for diverse and subjective interpretations. Paintings and drawings, in my opinion, do not aim to faithfully depict reality. Instead, I provide an outlet for the subconscious through the strokes of my brush and pen.

However at times I like to mix it up using mixed media such as spray, acrylic ink, pastel, ball point, collage...
