Before Language (Pretty Dead Flowers), 2026
Oil on canvas

I explore the human body
as a surface for emotion, memory and transformation.

Through painting, I investigate states of vulnerability, perception and the tension between presence and absence. My work examines the body as a shifting space - shaped by experience, desire and the traces we carry. Painting from personal narratives, visual memory and the aesthetics of everyday life, I create figures and scenes that exist between intimacy and distance, reality and imagination.

PAINTING AS PERCEPTION

Sofie Rhomberg’s paintings investigate vulnerability, overstimulation, and perception through distorted figurative forms and layered color fields. Her practice centers on the body as an emotional landscape.
