In her paintings, Becky Soria approaches the human figure less from its familiar shapes, and much more from within, making visible its visceral emotional life. Using abstractions of language, color, and texture that allow her to capture the profound sentiments that humans have felt throughout the ages for the Earth as Goddess and Mother, Soria explores the inexorably evolving woman. “Within the quietude of my studio, and while the pandemic ravaged the world, I let my sensations, feelings, visions, and thoughts of what we were experiencing further my investigation of the human body and its inner reality,” recounts Soria.
This collection of images flows from the stark perceptions of the difficult times we are living in. They juxtapose the fragility and strength of the human spirit. “These images are at once representations of personal and universal images engendered by my muse, the mysterious source of creation,” says Soria. “The meditative journey that walked me through the real and illusory perceptions of the body and its ability to heal brought to life this exhibition of twenty-four works.”
Becky Soria, an American born in Bolivia, began her artistic career in the 1980s. She studied painting in the studios of South American artists, and with the artist and philosopher Dr. Fernando Casas. She also attended the Glassell School of Art in Houston, Texas. Her works are included in corporate and private collections in the United States, Europe, Canada, and South America.
Soria uses physicality, especially the physicality of human bodies and animals, as a primary source of inspiration in her work. She is concerned with intense emotions, bodily states, love, pain, and discomfiture. She is also interested in current world affairs, nature, and issues of humanity.
Soria believes the other important factor informing her Art is her background in the nursing and medical sciences; it gives her work a distinctively organic or biological flavor. She seeks to depict her ideas not as objective representations but rather as tunnels into realities as she experiences them.
