Sophie Wyllie is a visual artist exploring the dialogue between perception and presence, her work invites open interpretation and reflection.

 

Practising Buddhist influenced zen states of being and principles of Taoism and aesthetic ideals such as Wabi-Sabi (侘寂), Shibui (渋い), and Ikigai (生き甲斐), inspire abstract, metaphorical symbolism as the spiritual core of Sophie's work. Organic and asemic results from the process and the media itself evoke a sense of surrender to the unknown, a birthing ground for potential. It is the expression of an inclusive experience, a balanced consciousness. The idea of union and integration between body and soul, doing and being, giving and receiving. Through the beauty of simplicity and imperfection, we are able to experience the transcendence of it all. Timeless in its effort and effect, a grounded sense of belonging.

​

Original works created to awaken feeling, invite reflection., each piece is part of a wider body of work from the 'BE' series exploring consciousness, emotion, energy, nature, symbolism, and the unseen dimensions of human experience.

​

These works are created as living presences, pieces to be felt, contemplated, and returned to over time.
