Rooted in an acute awareness of material nuance and spatial tension, Sofia Pessoa Jorge’s work unfolds through a language of restraint and quiet intensity. Her drawings do not assert themselves immediately; rather, they accumulate presence through subtle shifts, delicate interruptions, and a sustained attention to the weight of each gesture.

Central to her practice is an exploration of liminality: the fragile threshold where form hovers between emergence and dissolution. Marks operate less as declarations and more as traces: evidence of movement, hesitation, and return. There is a sense that each element exists in dialogue with what surrounds it, activating the surface as a field of quiet negotiation rather than fixed composition.

In her body of work, intimacy is not opposed to scale but embedded within it. The piece expands and contracts through the viewer’s gaze, revealing rhythms that feel both deliberate and instinctive. Meaning does not reside in a single focal point; instead, it disperses across the surface, inviting a contemplative encounter where time slows and perception becomes tactile.
