Sophia Rosenthal (b.1996) is an artist based in London.
Working primarily in drawing and painting, her works are often prompted by transient moments in films and photographs. Sophia is interested in ideas surrounding time and phenomenology, and her image-making practice explores themes of home and belonging, conjuring images of dream, memory and the subconscious.
