Sophia Juergens

05.04.2025

Sophia Juergens lives and works in Luxembourg. She earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Hochschule für Künste im Sozialen in Ottersberg and her Master of Fine Arts from the prestigious University of Newcastle. Growing up in a creative environment shaped by her mother’s artistry and a community of innovative thinkers, Juergens developed an early fascination for contemporary art, drawing inspiration from artists like Pipilotti Rist and Tracey Emin, who masterfully convey emotions in an ever-changing world.

In her work, Juergens explores the complex contradictions of human existence—the intertwining of pain and beauty, vulnerability and strength. Her large-scale, organic compositions challenge viewers to engage in a spatial experience, inviting them to lose themselves in the subtle nuances of her color palettes. A standout project was her award-winning exhibition in Newcastle in 2019, accompanied by an artful film that captured her creative journey.

Despite the self-imposed challenges and doubts throughout her artistic career, Juergens remains inspired by the fleeting moments of everyday life—from the energy of city living to the pulse of music—to seek authenticity. Her works offer not just a visual experience but an invitation to dive deep into one’s emotions and rediscover the essence of being human.
