A study of water as transformation. Layers of blue, turquoise, and mineral whites interact like shifting currents, creating a sense of perpetual motion beneath a calm surface.

The gesture is fluid but intentional, capturing the alchemy of water as both force and healer.

Created as part of the commissioned artwork series for the Hotel Corona SPA in Verona, Italy, this piece was designed to reinforce the spa’s atmosphere of renewal, purity, and immersive tranquility.

"Where the Light Illuminates Itself", art of the Topography of Memory — Synchronicities Collection,  was born from a moment of profound synchronicity in Venice — a city where light seems to breathe, shimmer, and reflect its own soul. In that instant, something within the artist was also illuminated, igniting a vision that now flows through her work.
The painting invites viewers not merely to see but to feel — to witness what awakens within as light reveals itself across the canvas. Layers of luminosity and reflection intertwine, evoking both the physical radiance of Venice and the inner clarity of self-discovery. She invites collectors to join her evolving journey — one where art becomes both illumination and transformation.

Rooted in visceral gesture and intuitive flow, the painting embodies rebellion and release — a process of unlearning control and reclaiming freedom after years within structured systems. Its raw energy strikes first through the body, before thought takes hold.

"River Deep", part of the "Topography of Memory — Synchronicities" Collection, “River Deep” transforms memory into movement — a living current of color, texture, and emotion. Layers of fiery orange and red surge through the composition like molten energy, counterbalanced by cooler passages of turquoise and violet that create eddies of introspection.

Vertical forms emerge like fractured walls or submerged architectures, while delicate linear traces drift across the surface — veins of remembrance mapping the unseen routes through which memory flows.

Strengths Do Not Shout Loudly
by Sonia J. - featuring The Rain Doesn’t Cry

There is a strength that doesn’t perform — a quiet force that breathes beneath the surface.
In Strengths Do Not Shout Loudly, Sonia J. presents ten large-scale canvases from her collection The Rain Doesn’t Cry, where emotion becomes texture and silence turns into color.

Through layered acrylics, sand, and gesso, Sonia transforms inner storms into luminous surfaces that evoke both fragility and endurance. Her paintings speak of resilience that does not need to prove itself — strength found in stillness, beauty born from surrender.

The works invite us to slow down, to feel rather than analyze, to listen to what strength sounds like when it stops shouting.

Because sometimes, the most powerful voices are whispered through texture, light, and presence.
