ABOUT

Sosse Georgine Parvula Serpenti (2001, Amersfoort, The Netherlands) 

is an illustrator and visual artist who focuses on people and the diverse worlds they inhabit.

.

Sosse is fascinated by secretive subcultures, steeped in unusual aesthetics and etiquette. With an anthropological and journalistic approach, she captures her experiences in these groups through visual reports. Starting from external appearances, she delves into underlying vulnerabilities and societal themes such as religion, gender, and the tragicomedic aspects of everyday life.

.

Originally, Sosse is a true 'drawer', but nowadays her choice of materials includes paint, wood, clay, textiles, and other mixed media. All her ideas begin with pencil on paper, and the process of finding the right material is an exciting journey for her. The combination of these materials creates a play between the second and third dimensions, giving her work an extra layer of variety and tangibility

.

Sosse can become deeply absorbed in creating inticate details and suggestive innuendos, but she also enjoys tackling larger artworks and projects.

.

When viewing Sosse's work, one might experience a slightly alienated feeling. By depicting exaggerated perspectives and surreal scenes, she plays with the malleability of reality. The plasticity of the human body and the fluidity of lines are also recognizable elements in Sosse's work. She is a very observant person; through all that looking and seeing, she reshapes everything in her own unique way.

.

In three words, she describes herself and her work as versatile, observant, and cartoonish.
