Understanding of the world. Symbolism of Unity and Consciousness:
Japanese ink on paper art, created through freehand drawing and inspired by my meditation, is a captivating expression of the my inner world and my connection to the larger universe. The delicate lace-like patterns, formed by circular and geometric shapes with repetitive lines, symbolize the unity of consciousness.
Through my intuitive brushstrokes, these forms come together to represent a harmonious whole, reflecting the interconnectedness of all beings. Japanese ink on paper art serves as a reminder of the profound beauty and unity that can be found through artistic expression and the practice of meditation. It invites viewers to contemplate their own place within the interconnected web of existence and to embrace the conscious unity that binds us all.
Sonia Roseval, a dynamic artist whose journey spans continents and cultures, was born in Tunis, Tunisia, and moved to Montreal as a child. Influenced by her intellectually inquisitive father and creatively skilled mother, Sonia’s early life was filled with wonder and curiosity. At the age of twelve, she began drawing portraits, an early indicator of her artistic path.
Self-taught but nurtured by a supportive community, Sonia’s techniques evolved organically, heavily guided by intuition and meditation. Her artwork often features intricate sewing patterns inspired by her mother, symbolizing deeper states of consciousness. This personal yet universally resonant approach forms the core of her creative exploration.
Rich in diverse influences from her travels, Sonia’s work also draws inspiration from masters like De Kooning and Cy Twombly. She has strong ties to the Lasalle Artist Association and L’Aquarium Foundation, which provide platforms for her unique vision.
Sonia’s art has been showcased in galleries across North America, including the Marden Art Gallery in Pointe-Claire, the Gallery of Nova Scotia, the Gallery of Greater Victoria, the Pierre Boucher Museum, and the Museum of Mont-Saint-Hilaire. She has received accolades such as the Honorable Mention at the 2023 AIMPE Japan Awagami Mini Print Japanese Juried Exhibit, the Prize for Harmony for Humanity in 2024, the International Prize Leonardo Da Vinci in Milan, and the International Prize Phoenix in the Arts in Venice.
Featured in publications like the Art in America guide and Art Virtuoso catalogue, as well as the cover of Revue Plastir, Sonia’s global presence continues to grow. Notable collectors include the L'Assemblée National du Quebec and the Aquarium Foundation in Montreal.
Sonia Roseval’s evolving journey underscores her commitment to touching lives globally through art, which she regards as a vital element of contemporary life. Her work represents her core values, making a compelling case for the indispensable role of art in society.
