About me
My work
I am Sophia Toschka, an abstract artist from Northern Germany, near Hamburg. In my studio, vibrant originals on canvas are created intuitively, multi-layered, and without fixed rules.
I work with acrylic and mixed media, building my artworks in different layers. I am interested in how colors interact, how structures create depth, and how a work of art can change the atmosphere of a room.
My artistic signature moves between playful energy, organic movement, and tangible depth. From this, three independent series have developed: HAPPY, FLORALS, and TRACES. As diverse as their visual worlds are, they are connected by my free working process. I don't plan every detail in advance but leave room for coincidence, movement, and what feels right in the moment. Thus, each work becomes unique.
In addition to my independent works, I also create individual commissioned artworks. In these, I translate moods, color preferences, or special memories into an abstract artwork that bears my artistic signature while remaining personal.
Today, my works are in private collections in various European countries and beyond. On Instagram, a community of more than 15,000 people now follows the creation of new works, commissioned artworks, and series.
If you are looking for art that doesn't need loud explanations but simply works, you've come to the right place.
In my gallery, I show a selection of works already created and sold.
Why color
For me, color is not a decorative element, but a feeling.
It can open up rooms, soothe them, or bring energy into them – often very subtly. Why colorful art can change rooms, I have also described in a more detailed article.
When painting, I follow less fixed concepts than what feels right. Colors are allowed to meet, overlap, and change. That's where depth emerges.
I love how color reacts to light and how it always looks different depending on its surroundings. A work of art only fully unfolds its presence in the space for which it is intended.
