Sofia Reshmi is a Swedish contemporary artist and the founder of X-RAY Collective Art. Through a concept-driven practice, she develops independent collections that explore memory, identity, human behaviour and the complexity of contemporary life. Together, these collections form an ongoing artistic conversation about what it means to be human.
Working across painting, mixed media, analogue photography and installation, Sofia is not defined by a particular medium but by the questions she chooses to explore. Every collection begins with an idea and gradually develops its own visual language, allowing materials, colour and process to serve the concept rather than the other way around.
Over time, Sofia has developed a distinctive artistic language where expressive painting, analogue photography, handwritten text and layered materials appear throughout her work. Elements such as tape, raw surfaces and visible traces of the creative process are not recurring motifs but part of an evolving exploration of memory, perception, transformation and the beauty found in contradiction.
Without formal artistic training, Sofia has built her practice through intuition, experimentation and more than two decades working in advertising and visual communication. That experience continues to influence her ability to develop concept-driven narratives where every artwork contributes to a larger story while remaining complete in its own right.
Living and working between Berlin, Mallorca and the Falsterbo peninsula, Sofia draws inspiration from both urban environments and quieter landscapes. These contrasting worlds continue to shape her artistic perspective, balancing energy with stillness, instinct with reflection, and the personal with the universal.
Her work has been exhibited internationally and is held in private collections across Europe, North America and South America.
Rather than illustrating ideas, Sofia creates space for reflection. Her work invites viewers to slow down, question familiar perspectives and discover their own stories within each collection.
