Sofia pours the sky and lets it move, then paints three things on the horizon and stops. The northern lights over still water, and a great deal of quiet.

The Studio
Where Sofia works.
A small studio on the island of Gotland, Sweden. Pale wood walls, a wood stove, and one huge window facing the sea.
The Story
Get to know Sofia.
What inspires her
The moment the whole sky opens over a still fjord. The boathouse, the birch, the jetty, the lighthouse: whichever three things were there when it happened.
How the work gets made
Acrylic and resin are poured and moved with a knife and compressed air until the sky is right. Then two or three elements are painted sharp on a low horizon. Everything she leaves out is a decision.
Poured acrylic and resin worked with a knife and compressed air for the sky, then two or three elements painted sharp on a low horizon.
The Practice
What makes a Sofia Larsson a Sofia Larsson.
Pour
The sky moves
Poured acrylic and resin, pushed with a knife and air until it flows like the lights.
Horizon
Kept low
Two thirds of the frame is sky. The horizon is a single sharp line.
Three
Things at most
A boathouse, a birch, a jetty. Never more than three.
“Everything I leave out is a decision. That is the only work there is.”
— Sofia Larsson

Vermillion Against Verdict: When the Boathouse Refuses to Move
The aurora can do whatever it wants overhead; the red building stays exactly where it is.

Passage Before Dawn: the ferry I paint to prove the scale
The aurora needs something small and human crossing underneath it, or you lose the size of the sky.
