Cameroonian born, Violeta Sofia is a Photographer and Artist based in London.

 

She grew up in Madrid, Spain where she discovered her interest in visual arts and at the age of 16  she moved to London to study Media Arts and eventually pursue a photography career.

​

Influenced by inequality,  identity, conflict and consumerism. Violeta Sofia has created art for companies such as Harvey Nichols and Top Shop. In 2018 a transformation year for women, Violeta was able to expand her painting practice as she exhibited her work at the Royal Academy of Arts in London and her work continue to be published in magazines like Virtuogenix and Deadline Hollywood magazine.
