Discover exceptional new voices

I source and vet emerging and mid-career artists whose work is exhibition-ready and market-aware. You get first access to talent that resonates — before everyone else finds them.

Put your work in the right rooms

I champion artists who have a strong practice and a story worth telling. Together we build the strategy, the relationships, and the momentum that gets your work seen — and sold.

About & CV

Making art careers move

I started my career at Christie's, moved into gallery direction at Pace London, and eventually realised the work I loved most was the work between — connecting dots, opening doors, building the relationships that shape a career.

Today I represent a focused roster of 15 artists across painting, sculpture, photography and installation. I also consult for galleries actively seeking new talent — offering both deep market knowledge and a genuine eye for what's coming next.

I believe the art world works better when it's less transactional and more human. My approach is slow, considered, and built on trust.

What People Say
"

Sofia introduced us to three artists that became central to our programme. She has an extraordinary instinct for the work that will resonate — and the relationships to back it up.

Maria Hofer Director, Hofer Gallery Vienna
"

Before Sofia, I'd been sending portfolios into the void for years. Within six months she'd placed my work in two group shows and one major solo. She understands how to position an artist.

Tom Adeyemi Photographer, Lagos & London
"

She's one of the few agents who actually listens. She understood our gallery's identity immediately and matched us with artists who genuinely fit — not just whoever she was pushing that month.

James Cho Co-Founder, Noon Projects NY
