sofia sarmiento

 Sofía Sarmiento is a young and gifted multimedia artist. She (16) was born in Argentina, and lives in between there and the US. 

From the age of two, she began a prolific artistic production that her mother, family, and friends still conserve as valuable pieces of contemporary art.

Her trips back and forth to the United States, Europe, and Argentina, stimulated her capacity and curiosity to nurture her artistic ideas.

Raised in a family of creative artists, she is the youngest of three children. Her oldest sister and her hero brother, are both artists that she admires. 

As a high school student, her participation in art exhibitions is always a celebration and recognition of the teachers and her classmates who appreciate her work.

She sells her works in the United States, and is also there where she began her first steps into muralism by the hand of the public art curator, Mrs. Raquel Vallejo. 

Raquel trusted Sofía to be a helper to the muralist artist, Mr. Mwanel Pierre-Louis, to paint the town's first mural in Micanopy, Florida. Vallejo also encouraged Sofía to paint her first "solo" mural at her own property in Micanopy. The second mural in town.

Her techniques combine drawing, painting, oil, pencil, acrylic, textile art & murals. She is also a jewelry model, and together with her mother, they form an artistic team creating multimedia artworks. 

Self-taught, Sofía is very determined when it comes to work. I say she is a top-level art critic, hard worker, gifted and talented artist.

Thank you, Sofi. I am so proud of you.
