About Sofia Plantus

My path as an artist
Art has been part of my life since childhood, an instinctive pull that gradually evolved into a dedicated practice. My earliest training took place in Moldova, where nine years of study(studying) at the Alexei Shchusev art school and later at the A. Plamadeala art college grounded me in the classical tradition. That academic rigor—guided by professors from Moldova and Russia—shaped the way I approach any subject: landscapes, portraits, the human figure, cityscapes, or abstract compositions.

My journey continued at the George Enescu University in Romania, where I began to carve out my own visual language. There, I learned to seek ideas, to question, and to transform those reflections into images. Theoretical studies in conceptual art, minimalism, and other contemporary movements broadened my understanding and pushed my work toward new directions.
An Erasmus scholarship brought me to Murcia, followed by an internship at the Léucade Art Gallery—experiences that led me to Spain, a place I quickly felt connected to and where I eventually rooted myself. Along the way, I participated in competitions, group exhibitions, and solo shows across Moldova, Romania, Italy, Germany, and Spain.
Traveling, learning from different cultures, and taking on diverse roles both within and beyond the art world have shaped not only my practice but also the way I move through life. These experiences taught me adaptability, curiosity, and resilience—qualities that continue to feed my creative process.

"Although I spend many hours in the studio, inspiration rarely waits for the right moment. I always carry a sketchbook with me, convinced that life is already full of art—it simply asks to be noticed..."
