BIOGRAPHY
Sonia Bhamra is an award-winning, multidisciplinary visual artist based in Birmingham, UK, known for her innovative approach to storytelling through photography. With a BA (Hons) in Fine Art, Sonia defines her creative process as "painting with photography," blending conceptual and surrealist influences with documentary techniques. Her work delves deeply into pressing social and environmental issues, crafting visual metaphors that encourage viewers to see the world from a fresh perspective.
Inspired by contemporary events, Sonia's art brings attention to themes that demand greater awareness, such as the anthropological impact on our planet and global social challenges. Through her unique fusion of realism and imagination, she tackles subjects that society may overlook or has become desensitised to, presenting them in ways that provoke thought and inspire reflection. By aligning her art with causes that matter, Sonia views her work as a "visual arm" for change, believing that when art carries a message, it has the power to shape perceptions and foster dialogue.
Through her practice, Sonia invites viewers to engage with the world’s complexities and challenges in new ways, encouraging a deeper awareness of the issues that shape our collective reality. Her work serves as both a mirror and a lens, offering a compelling view of the familiar and the overlooked.
