Sophia Sobrino is a 21-year-old artist based in Atlanta, Georgia. She graduated from Oglethorpe University in 2024 with a bachelor’s degree in Studio Art. Sobrino’s work is an evolving body that seeks to reflect personal and collective narratives, often drawing from Feminism, experience with marginalized identity, and observation of popular culture. Sobrino’s practice is rooted in personal stories, reflections, and collective narratives in which viewers can see themselves.
Sobrino’s work is inspired by Surrealism, Lowbrow, and Contemporary art styles with a concentration in illustration, painting, and printmaking. Sobrino was born and raised in Atlanta and is very proud of her Hispanic heritage, often imbuing common cultural themes and imagery throughout her artwork.
Most recently, Sobrino has exhibited in How We Become, a group exhibition at the Town + Culture art gallery and has co-curated the exhibition series Oglethorpe's Portfolio: Art by Students, highlighting student artwork at Oglethorpe University. She has previously had her artwork displayed at the Mexican Consulate for her solo exhibition, Epifanías, and in the Governor’s Honors Program Group Exhibition at Berry College. Sobrino was a 2020 finalist in the Latin American Association’s scholarship contest, Portraying the Immigrant Experience, where her piece Herencia was displayed in a group show at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia. She has worked with the Institute of Mexican Culture to exhibit at the Margaret Mitchell House Museum for Dia de los Muertos.
