Sophie Kugel and her colorful dance through art

Sophie is an art photographer, visualizing art collections on behalf of museums and galleries. Her way of doing so is truly niche. She doesn't just look at paintings, but instead she becomes a part of them. By wearing clothes that match the colors and patterns in the artwork, she transforms the way we see and experience it.

And it's not just about her clothes – her poses and the composition of the photograph also play an important role. It feels as though suddenly you and the artwork aren't that far apart anymore.

To make the experience complete, she adds to each photo insightful words about the artwork, the artists behind them, and occasionally, fun facts.

The mission of Sophie's job is to make art feel closer as well as inspire us to go see the pieces and the museum. Well, she definitely left me curious and inspired, my artistic to-go list is thanks to her longer.
