SEASON 6
Sofia Haron
sembilan's Foreword
Hailing from Penang, Sofia Haron spent her growing years in Kuala Lumpur, where she explored the world of art since the tender age of three.
What began as innocent sketches and drawings soon morphed into participation in various art competitions. Whilst the universe of video games, anime, comic books and cartoon characters provided young Sofia with an endless stream of fascination – her curiousity into the world of fine arts soon led into her enrolment of UiTM Malacca’s Diploma of Fine Arts.
This journey was further cemented with her eventual graduation from UiTM Shah Alam with a Degree in Fine Arts, where she majored in painting and ceramic. Even as a student, Sofia regularly had her works exhibited at various prominent galleries around Kuala Lumpur, Melaka, Shah Alam and Penang.
Though she defines her style with figurative works today – we believe that with her open, experimentative nature – works of Sofia Haron will positively and progressively evolve in the years to come.Q&A
