Undercurrent

Concept

Aya Sophie is a contemporary abstract and symbolism artist that works with movement and layers in her art.
She takes advantage of her background of having lived in the United States, New Zealand, and her own country, Japan, to create her own unique style and atmosphere.

She uses acrylics, Japanese washi, some pouring techniques and stencils in her art with a varnish finish to create that ethereal feel in her abstracts. She uses depth of color and harmony to create layers in her symbolism art.

She has been recently working on a new style of art with diatomaceous stucco, which is made from plant plankton fossil sediment that breaks down harmful voc’s in the air and is also beneficial for the environment.

"I believe that my paintings are a window into another world. I am sharing a world I see with the eyes of my heart. I want to bring a world to a person's soul that builds up and heals, a world you can sit in and experience and feel the atmosphere that it may touch something deep in one's heart."
