Sophie Smith is a mixed-media artist based in Kingston upon Thames, London. Her work spans a variety of techniques and reflects a deep interest in contemporary art and socio-cultural history. During her time living in Thailand, she engaged closely with local communities and cultural practices in an international setting. This experience strongly influenced her, particularly through the Neo-surrealist movement that plays a significant role in Thai art. Smith’s practice merges traditional and modern approaches. While she began primarily as a painter, her focus has evolved toward installation, allowing her to continually expand her creative boundaries.
