Sophia Mancusi is an acrylic and oil painter currently pursuing a BFA in painting at Massachusetts College of Art and Design in Boston, MA. Employing luminous color palettes and dynamic shifts in lighting, she pays homage to the sublime in daily life. Working from both life and her own photographs, her work is an autobiographical string of moments that hold personal and collective significance. Recognizable scenes of figures on a park bench and construction sites become spectacles of light and color, inviting a renewed sense of curiosity for humble subject matter.
