Zofie King
My artwork finds its roots in the Gothic aesthetic, where I merge surrealistic architectural elements with the organic beauty of nature. Using acrylic pen and charcoal, I add layers of depth with gouache and watercolor. Within the compositions, I introduce "windows" made from photographs and digital collages, transformed through the cyanotype process and partial solvent transfers.
In the vein of Gothic literature, my work exudes a contemplative mood, woven with mysterious threads. The architectural elements pay homage to the grace of ancient cathedrals and forgotten spaces. Within these vignettes, animals and plants traverse the intricate cycles of life, undergoing perpetual metamorphosis and decay to birth new life—a narrative of creation emerging from destruction.
The work is an invitation, encouraging viewers to wander through and explore the subtle emotions within. I hope to create a gateway for the mind to project and experience its own reflections.
