Sohaima

I love to create art in the forms of paintings, music, and murals because I believe sometimes just words don’t do justice to human emotions.

What is your favorite type of art to create?

Since childhood, I have balanced singing and songwriting with creating art on canvas. Some financial struggles in 2023 made creating physical art a luxury so I pivoted to creating 4K digital gradient murals. This shift revealed a new love: the ability to manipulate light and pixels in ways, sometimes, a physical canvas cannot achieve. Once these HD murals are created, the editable files are deleted forever. I specialize in 12”x12” paintings and these high-definition philosophical digital art.

Where do you find inspiration?

I find inspiration in the edgeless and ever-shifting nature of life. My work is influenced by the concept of gradients as a spectrum of knowledge… moving from one distinct idea to the next. I am deeply moved by the geometry of the universe and the "simulation" of our existence. By looking at the stars or the way light bends through a prism, I find the colors and melodies that represent my deepest insecurities, turning them into light-etched questions that invite the viewer to pause and reflect.

What would you do with $25,000?

I would fund a high-impact exhibition showcasing a juxtaposition of scale: "larger-than-life" digital mural projections (min. height of 12’) alongside many of my 12"x12" paintings. Remaining funds can help jump-start my first official album, uniting ten years of songwriting and self-production with visuals. Though I’ve released dozens of songs over the last decade, this grant would finally allow me to merge my auditory and visual worlds into one immersive, high-definition and professional brand.
