Sophia Szilagyi is a Melbourne-based artist, working predominantly in digital printmaking. Practicing since the early 1990s, Szilagyi has had numerous solo and group exhibitions, including a sell out show at James Makin Gallery in 2011.

 

Manipulating the photorealistic expectations of pigment printing, Szilagyi intricately edits, layers and manipulates a number of images to create a single original print. By softening harsh outlines, creating abstracted focal Szilagyi’s prints offer a more poetic realities. Whether that reality be melancholic or serene, she directs her audience to new ways of seeing, that draw attention to the symbiotic emotions of fear, danger and wonder that exist both in nature and the imagination.
