Echofigura, an artistic expression created by Sofie Rhomberg, is a fusion of layered figures and flowing forms, creating a visual echo that feels both surreal and hypnotic. Blurring the lines between presence and illusion, this style weaves multiple images into a single, seamless composition - like memories overlapping in time. Vibrant hues and shifting contours give each piece a dreamlike, almost holographic effect, pulling the viewer into a world where reality bends and perspectives multiply.
“"I created Echofigura to capture the beauty of layered existence - where figures merge, time overlaps, and reality echoes in color.".”
— Sofie Rhomberg
Kaleidoscope of Self
This vibrant, abstract portrait explores the intricate layers of identity through a spectrum of color and form. "Kaleidoscope of Self" reflects the emotional complexity of being human, as the hands interact with the face, symbolizing the constant shaping and reshaping of the self. Each hue represents a different facet of emotion and thought, interwoven into a dynamic whole. The overlapping hands blur the lines between the internal and external world, expressing the tension and harmony found in self-perception and the search for personal truth. The bold, expressive use of color channels a sense of transformation, inviting the viewer to reflect on their own evolving identity and inner journey.
Spectrum of Being
"Spectrum of Being" is a vibrant exploration of human identity, emotion, and self-expression. This painting uses a rich palette of colors and fluid, intertwined human forms to convey the complexity of our existence. The overlapping bodies, awash in hues ranging from deep blues to vivid reds, represent the different facets of who we are - our vulnerabilities, strengths, desires, and inner conflicts.
The piece invites viewers to reflect on their own emotional journey, as each layer of color and form speaks to a different experience or emotion. It suggests that, just as the spectrum of colors blend and shift, so too does our understanding of ourselves evolve over time. This artwork makes a bold statement about the beauty of being, offering both a striking visual experience and a deeper introspective message.
Echoes of Distortion
In this oil painting we see a figure that appears fragmented and overlapping, embodying the essence of inner turmoil and confusion. The figure is crouched, hands covering parts of their face, a gesture that evokes both shame and self-protection. The distortion of multiple overlapping limbs and faces suggests that this individual is wrestling with their own identity as if the person is caught between different versions of themselves.
The color palette with rich hues of greens, reds, and blues adds another layer to the painting's emotional depth. The cold greens and blues reflect a sense of isolation, while the reds hint at underlying tension, conflict, and passion. The way the figure's features are fractured and repeated symbolizes the distorted perceptions of self that come with anxiety, fear, or trauma as if their thoughts are ricocheting off invisible walls in their mind.
The title, "Echoes of Distortion," suggests that this distortion is not a sudden event but a prolonged echo - a reverberation of past experiences, mistakes, or traumas that continue to distort the present. The figure appears both hiding from and confronting these echoes, a visual representation of the ongoing struggle between accepting and rejecting one's own fragmented sense of self.
This piece is a portrayal of the way we carry the echoes of our past within us, and how they distort our perception of reality. The distortion in the painting may be seen as both painful and transformative, illustrating how one's identity is shaped, stretched, and sometimes obscured by past experiences.
