Alicia Sosa
I was born in Monterrey, Mexico. I studied architecture and have a master at the University of Colorado at Denver. After moving to Montreal I took painting studies at the Visula Art Center and with Ljubomir Ivankovic. I'm selected member of the Society of Canadian Artist, The lakeshore Artist Association and the Beaconsfield Artist Association.

In 2023, my painting” L’orange” won the artist’s choice award at AIM, St valentine’s show
In 2022, my painting “Entre el cielo y la tierra” was part of the SCA 65th Mural Mosaic
In 2018, my painting “Cycling” won the people choice’s award at the Beaconsfield Art show
In 2016, my painting “Water Splash” won the Arts Visual Expo Concours, Pincourt, Qc
In 2010, my painting “Morning Walk” won the APAW Art Contest. This painting currently adorns the Beaconsfield Library.
ARTIST’S STATEMENT
Although I'm constantly experimenting with different ways to express herself, my work projects a contemporary style with surrealistic tendencies.
"Painting is for me a tool to share my perception of life. It’s an invitation to look for the essence of things, rather than their superficiality. I play with colors and light to evoke emotions. I am motivated and inspired by the incidence and reflection of light from objects. To catch and transmit all its splendour is my constant challenge”
"As human beings, we are all like oranges .... you just need to peel them to know what really lies inside"
