Sofia Mitsola – Sisterly Affections

In Sisterly Affections, London-based artist Sofia Mitsola (b. 1992) constructs a vivid pictorial world where myth, desire, and painting converge on contemporary terms. Her women figures - confident, theatrical, and self-possessed - inhabit spaces that resist fixed narrative or moral framing. Mitsola approaches female eroticism not as spectacle but as agency, informed by classical imagery and reworked through a contemporary feminist lens. Bringing together paintings, drawings, and watercolours, the catalogue is accompanied by a text by Alyce Mahon and an interview by Jennifer Higgie, offering a nuanced portrait of an artist redefining the terms of sensual representation today.
