Sonia Ben Achoura
Born: 1975
Hometown: Paris
Based in: London, United Kingdom
Sonia Ben Achoura was born in Paris, France. Having travelled extensively, she settled in the UK. A self-taught artist and psychologist, she was inspired by Leonardo da Vinci from an early age. Art and science converge in her paintings, manifesting in insightful explorations of mind and nature. Her career in fine art spans over two decades, with a distinctive body of work characterised by a vivid chromatic palette, a detailed execution, and a futuristic edge.
Sonia focuses predominantly on geometric abstraction. An elaborate art vocabulary allows her to bring to life powerful conceptualisations of mental phenomena, informed by thorough research and synthesised through visionary imagination. These manifest in psychological icons, blueprints of the mind in a wide variety of media. Sonia’s intuitive style emanates from a meditative place. As a result, her paintings often incorporate figurative elements in her abstract works, giving rise to atmospheric compositions.
Sonia regularly exhibits her work at galleries and art fairs in Europe. She sells her paintings internationally.

Sonia Ben Achoura In The Studio
"French artist and psychologist Sonia Ben Achoura generates works of art at the intersection between art and science. Like intimations of perfection, her paintings are born out of an interplay between light and colour. She creates a world of vivid colour, dynamic forms, and geometric perfection as she weaves organic forms over the fabric of robotic geometry."
