Sophia Szilagyi is a talented Melbourne printmaker who works predominantly in digital printmaking. Through clever juxtaposition of imagery Sophia explores the notion that, in any domain of reality, there are dualities. She often uses details taken from historical paintings and insightfully places them in a contemporary setting paralleling the past with the present. Memories and dreams and the varied responses they can evoke, together with the archetypal sense of mystery of wooded landscape features strongly in her work. Her beautifully evocative prints with their powerful use of light and imagery can be both haunting and broody.
Sophia has been involved in many group and solo exhibitions since graduating from RMIT and is represented in the collections of the State Library of Victoria, Print Council of Australia, Queensland University of Technology and various regional art galleries.
