SOPHIE SAUMIER

a young artist with a BFA in fashion design and a minor in photography, exploring the dynamic intersections of femininity, expression, and community. My artistic practice revolves around clothing, with a heavy focus on photography. I capture editorial and fashion-inspired images that highlight human subjects, intertwining themes of femininity, creativity, and irony. My use of color is vivid and intentional within urban settings and contexts. I blend different media to enhance my works that are easily accessible through social media, websites, and small gallery exhibitions. My ideas are deeply rooted in lived experiences and enriched by the connections I form with others. Influenced by the aesthetics of people, environments, and everyday encounters, I draw inspiration from a wide array of elements – be it an outfit, a setting, or a fleeting detail. Each piece I create contains a narrative infused with my style, with a commitment to expression. I am particularly interested in the many forms of femininity and how it can be articulated through various bodies, styles, and perceptions. My art aims to stimulate conversation and evoke a lightheartedness, inviting viewers to engage with the themes I explore of the need for human connections. My work highlights expression, underscoring the importance of individuality and community in our lives. Through my refined and distinct aesthetic, I aim to create visuals that resonate with or interest others, fostering a deeper understanding of the complex nature of identity and creativity
