Sofia Rozaki (b.1990) is a visual artist. She studied painting at the School of Visual and Applied Arts, Faculty of Fine Arts at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki from 2009 to 2013. She currently lives and works in Athens.
In her practice, she explores alternative narratives surrounding the body, gender, memory, trauma and sexuality. Through hybrid figures and compositions that blur the line between the real and the surreal, her works challenge dominant Western binaries. With a feminist and queer approach, Rozaki combines personal and collective experiences with a wide range of aesthetic references, crafting a vulnerably sincere and idiosyncratic visual language.
