Inside the Dark, Whimsical World of @sophiarapata

“Clown witch nymph” may seem like an unusual way to describe oneself, but for Indiana-based artist Sophia Rapata (@sophiarapata), these associations perfectly match the dark, fantastical artwork she creates. “I know how to juggle, make people laugh, face paint and do magic,” she says. “I’m not really a nymph, but I love nature.” Sophia is also a musician, and often matches her original, off-kilter music with visual pieces using time-lapse videos.

A few months ago, Sophia quit her day job so she could focus all of her energy on her creative projects. Though making ends meet through freelancing has been challenging at times, she’s never looked back. “I’m obsessed with creating and I’m allergic to ‘not painting.’ If I don’t paint for at least an hour a day, my heart will stop beating,” she says. “There are a million and one things I want to do in life. It’s only up from here.”
