Sofía Balut Páez, born May 19, 1991, in Uruguay and Barcelona-based, is a highly regarded young artist whose creative journey is deeply rooted in her lineage and in self-discovery through her identity as a woman, mother, daughter, wife…

She walks on solid ground as her grandfather was the renowned and beloved Latin American artist, Carlos Páez Vilaró, known and loved in all Latin America as widely as Picasso was to the world.

Demonstrating exceptional artistic talent from a young age, particularly in the realm of Cubism, Sofia’s life experiences in countries like Spain, Italy, the US, and Uruguay have significantly influenced her artistic vision. Her role as a mother has enriched her narrative and infused her work with dedication and to serve as an example.

The past two years 2022/23 have marked a significant chapter in Sofía’s career, with participation in prestigious international exhibitions and fairs, including the International Contemporary Art Fair in Paris and recently inaugurated OMSA Gallery’s first exhibit, Female Figuratively, demonstrating interest in her work by a broad viewer base.

Sofia’s work gained global attention when showcased at the esteemed European Museum of Modern Art in Barcelona (MEAM), giving some of her signature pieces provenance. She has also exhibited at the Louvre Carrousel in Paris and more recently has been selected to be part of the pivotal Women in the Arts Biennial in London, UK for September 2024.

What distinguishes her art is the fresh palette blende and rendered with Neo-Cubist elements from a contemporary female perspective, challenging artistic conventions. Working from her studio in Barcelona, Spain, Sofía is passionate about exploring themes of unity, honesty, and love in her work, reflecting her personal narrative, and underscoring the importance of these values in her life, to be in turn, reflected in her art.

Her commitment to exploring new perspectives, positions Sofía as a promising figure in the contemporary art landscape, continually exploring new horizons. She is an artist to watch closely.
