Sonia J. - "Portals B" - "Topography of Memory - Synchronicities" Collection

This 50 × 50 cm abstract painting belongs to the collection 'Topography of Memory – Synchronicities,' a body of work that maps inner landscapes shaped by lived experience, intuition, and subtle alignments rather than linear chronology.

The composition unfolds as a layered terrain of colour, gesture, and line. Deep blues, warm ochres, reds, and greens intersect through vertical movements and fragmented geometric traces, suggesting emotional architecture rather than physical space. Forms appear, dissolve, and re-emerge, echoing the way memories surface — not as fixed records, but as signals that guide perception and creative direction.

Scratched marks and drawn contours function like annotations on a mental map: traces of what was held, released, and transformed. The surface carries tension without heaviness, offering rhythm, contrast, and depth while preserving openness and flow.

Executed on stretched cotton canvas mounted on a wooden frame, this work is sold as is, fully stretched and ready to hang. Its format makes it ideal as a refined yet expressive presence within contemporary interiors, where it can operate both as a focal point and as a contemplative visual anchor.

For collectors, this painting offers a distilled expression of the collection’s core idea: memory as topography, and synchronicity as an active force shaping creative evolution — quiet, layered, and profoundly human.

About Sonia J.
I rewrite the feminine sacred through texture, memory, and courage.
My surfaces are built, carved, scratched, and reimagined — not to preserve purity, but to reveal presence.

Through layered abstractions, vertical gestures, and tactile colour fields, my work explores resilience, emotional archaeology, and the quiet force that shapes a life. My practice emerges from a profound personal transformation: after more than 30 years as a C-level executive in the technology sector, I chose to step away from corporate structures and fully inhabit the language of art.

My work has been exhibited internationally and selected by curators and galleries across Europe. Recent highlights include being named Top 10 Berlin Contemporary Artists (2024–2025), selection for Top Selection Berlin by BBA Gallery and PitturiAmo, participation in international art fairs in Berlin, Barcelona, and Braga, and commissioned projects for luxury hotels and spa environments.

Each canvas stands as both an artistic statement and a lived experience — grounded, intentional, and unmistakably alive.


Warm Regards.
Sonia J.
