A.L. Grime & Sofi Rami
she/her | she/her
Sofi Rami is a 1st generation Colombian American whose vibrant style is a kaleidoscope of cultural influences and bold artistic exploration. Her journey began with a deep desire to forge connections on a human level. Sofi Rami's public murals are the ultimate expression of that desire. Her public works serve as bridges to empower communities, while her studio work delves into a more intimate conversation within herself. One that she works out in the studio using elements of realism, surrealism, minimalism, and abstraction. Sofi Rami utilizes acrylics and spray paint to create dynamic and dreamlike landscapes across both practices. These vibrant abstract spaces are vessels for weaving together personal narratives, cultural heritage, and a profound connection to the natural world. Her work invites viewers into a space of self-reflection and connection. Sofi Rami hopes it can remind us that our emotions make us stronger and our experiences bring us closer together.
