Sofiia Sichkar
About
Sofiia Sichkar is an emerging artist and illustrator studying at School of Visual Arts in New York City.
In her practice, Sofiia explores themes of sociology, structure versus nature and reality, and their coexistence, while preserving her work's fictional nature.
Inspired by memory, nature, history, science, literature, mythology, and the world around her, Sofiia's practice centers on emotionally driven storytelling, and opens discussion on what it means to be, and exist.
