Sonder 2015

"Sonder" is a 2015 painting by Soey Milk, a contemporary artist known for her detailed and emotive portraiture. The painting depicts a young woman's face, partially obscured by a flowing veil of white blossoms and a large, dark hat. Red threads, knotted at intervals, weave through the composition, adding a sense of mystery and interconnectedness. The woman's expressive eyes gaze directly at the viewer, inviting contemplation and a sense of shared experience. Milk's signature style combines realism with delicate washes of color, creating a dreamlike and ethereal atmosphere.
