As of the new year, I am working under my original name, Sophie Weyeneth. I previously used an alias while balancing my painting practice with running a luxury fashion alteration business. Returning to my real name reflects a deeper commitment to my work and a more authentic alignment with my practice.

These three paintings were made together as a way of exploring both individuality and togetherness. The three works were initially treated as a single expanded surface, linked in their marking before each painting was given its own distinct presence. Together and apart, the paintings celebrate differences while highlighting the joy, strength, and closeness that come from forming connections, becoming intertwined, and building a life alongside one another.

This painting examines the changes that begin long before they can be seen. Small shifts build quietly until they become visible. The muted colours, including restrained reds, point to forces still forming beneath the surface. The work reflects the unseen processes shaping the present and how change is often recognised only after it has already taken hold.

​​This piece was created with the world’s movements and political changes in mind, reflecting on our differences and the potential for harmony. It explores the beauty of diversity and the richness that emerges when we embrace one another instead of resisting. Rather than seeing differences as a source of division, this work invites the viewer to imagine a world where coexistence leads to enrichment, not fear: a tapestry of perspectives, cultures, and identities interwoven in balance and mutual respect.
