Sofia Georgakopoulou: Greece
Sofia Georgakopoulou was born in Greece and is a scientist and a photographer. Her career has provided her with numerous opportunities to relocate, including The Netherlands and also Switzerland and to extensively travel around the world.
Influenced strongly by the colours of the Aegean Sea, the vibrant city life of Athens and Amsterdam, the gloomy weather of the North Sea and the strong antitheses of the Swiss mountainous landscapes, she experiments with a variety of photographic themes. Very much like the changing experiences in her life, her works take on strong dynamic and expressive forms; airports, stations, seaside stories, mountains and people on the move.
Her photographic projects are on a continuous quest for connections between natural and man-made structures that surround us. These encounters occur at differing levels of complexity, in a variety of colours, shapes, and forms. Photographically, this exploration is translated into images that probe deeper than was is encountered at just the surface. The ultimate aim is to alter the obvious with an infusion of sentiment and illusion.
Currently, Sofia lives in Switzerland, where she continues to transform her photographic canvas with new ideas. She is constantly reinventing herself as an artist, plunging also into the field of digital design: currently, she is developing an interactive project that connects digital arts with contemporary dance. Sofia has participated in several exhibitions, showcasing both with her photography and digital design artworks.
