Painting Le merle pensif by Rocco Sophie | Painting Raw art Animals Acrylic Gluing Sand

Sophie Rocco is a contemporary painter and sculptor and began painting as a child. She taught herself and, at the age of fourteen, she passed the entrance exam to study visual arts at Collège Ganneron in Paris. She then joined the Sornas school of graphic art where she "learned from being in close contact with the masters, the contemporary realist painters who introduced her to drawing and whose painting would inspire her for a long time". She has also been inspired by her unconditional love for culture and museums. This love has been enriched by her many travels all around the world, which have played an essential role in her personal and artistic development. Sophie is filled with a deep sense of isolation from the world around her and has patiently shaped a resolutely singular artistic and visual identity, focused on the exploration of the human soul.
