SOFIA MINSON Sofia is a New Zealand artist who has a flair for celebrating the spirit of people, culture and nature through painting. Born in Auckland in 1984, Sofia spent much of her childhood in Samoaand Sri Lanka and developed a strong appreciation for richly diverse cultures. On returning to New Zealand her artistic enthusiasm flourished and she desired to understand and love her homeland as she had other parts of the world. Her bold yet finely detailed oil paintings are inspired by her deep respect for the land and mythology of Aotearoa (New Zealand). By exploring the ancient people and legends from a contemporary perspective, Sofia discovers and strengthens an important connection to her own Maori heritage.
