Sophia 2016

"Sophia" (2016) by Carlos Sablón (b. 1981) is a surrealist painting that depicts a woman transformed into a seahorse-like creature. Her body is adorned with intricate details, including a butterfly wing and seashell-like structures. The painting is set against a backdrop of a vast, blue ocean, with a single rock emerging from the water in the foreground, symbolizing a sense of isolation and introspection. Two jellyfish float in the distance, adding a touch of mystery and ethereal beauty to the composition. The image explores the themes of transformation, imagination, and the power of nature.
