Sofia Alrich Veytia
Sofia Alrich Veytia (1997) is a visual artist born in Mexico City, currently based in London.
Through printmaking, painting, and video Sofia attempts to make substance of something that in its essence is transient, fleeting, or intangible, through amorphous figures that resemble the microcosm and macrocosm simultaneously. Her work experiments with imagery pertaining to nature, exploring the visual parallelisms between the human body and natural life. Sofia was awarded the HAUSPRINT Graduate Prize in 2023, which provided her with a year of free access to the studio’s facilities. This generous opportunity had a significant impact on her practice, enabling her to continue experimenting and developing her work during the crucial transition from student to professional life. The supportive, collaborative environment at HAUSPRINT—shared with a vibrant community of artists—further enriched her experience and creative growth.
Our Subtle Body
An exhibition of prints by Mia Thompson and Sofia Alrich Veytia. Thompson and Alrich Veytia explore a non-material self, vulnerability and joy through moments of connection to something larger than ourselves. Through the alchemical process of printmaking they invite collective reflection.
