Sofia Mitsola works within paintings in which she investigates the female form. Her invented characters are informed by ancient Greek and Egyptian sculptures, usually depictions of goddesses or mythical creatures. These are set in simple geometric backgrounds with intensely bright and almost flat colours and are depicted naked and larger than human scale. Through them, she is playing with ideas about voyeurism, confrontation, and power. With references from mythology, Japanese animation, and pornography she shows her figures longing, fantasying, touching themselves and glowing. The motifs of sphinxes and medusas have now become a background supportive system that protect her figures, taking the form of intertwined hair, snakes, and feline tails.
