Soniya Scoot at FAB The Filipino American Expo 2023.

Greetings, I am Soniya Scott, originally hailing from the Philippines. My journey into the realm of art and design has been a colorful one. I pursued my passion by studying Fine Arts Advertising and Fashion Designing. During my formative years, I had the privilege of participating in numerous group painting exhibits, and it was during this time that I truly discovered my profound connection with the arts.

The Filipino American Expo FAB 2023 is not just an event; it’s a moment for the community to come together, share stories, and build connections. Soniya Scott involvement in the expo amplifies the importance of these connections. Her journey reflects the interconnectedness of the Filipino American experience and the significance of supporting one another.

As an artist, I am constantly immersed in deep thoughts, always conceptualizing. My inspiration flows from the wellspring of life experiences and the people who inhabit my world. These influences, in turn, shape the narrative of my art, allowing me to convey emotions, stories, and the beauty that I see in the world around me.

Seascape Collection:

In the depths of reminiscence, I recall a time long ago when the idea of crafting a seascape series first took root in my mind. However, life’s bustling pace often left this dream on the back burner. Then came the unexpected solitude of the pandemic, a period of reflection and creativity. I found solace in experimenting with colors, materials, and even sand, channeling my newfound free time into artistic pursuits. It was during these moments of isolation that the concept of “Splash Under the Sea” materialized.

The creative process, spurred by the pandemic’s uncertainties, led me to explore diverse mediums, resulting in a collection as diverse as the ocean itself. Amidst the vibrant hues and textures emerged a piece that caught my eye, a creation I affectionately titled “Peaches.” This artwork, inspired by a four-legged companion, was initially meant to capture the ethereal beauty of the Northern Lights. Yet, fate intervened in the form of my playful dog, whose curious footsteps transformed my vision. As my dog unknowingly became a part of the artistic process, “Peaches” was born, a testament to the unexpected turns art can take.

In the midst of these creations lies another series, a collection as enigmatic as the night sky. The untitled pieces, leave room for interpretation, inviting viewers to find their own narratives within the brushstrokes. The essence of these artworks is not bound by a specific title but is rather an open canvas for imagination.

In these unspoken stories and unnamed pieces, lies the beauty of artistic expression—a realm where the boundaries of language and definition blur. These creations, each marked by a moment of inspiration or a playful twist of fate, remind us of the endless possibilities that art offers. It is a journey, a continuous exploration of the depths of creativity, where every stroke tells a tale, and every piece is a chapter in the evolving saga of artistic expression.

Pieces of Me Art Series:

This collection, which I affectionately named “Pieces of Me” holds a profound personal significance. Each piece within it, when observed closely, reveals a rich depth and dimension. This depth, concealed beneath layers of paint, represents the tapestry of my hidden emotions.

Each brushstroke upon these canvases is more than just pigment on a surface; it’s a stroke of my soul, a stroke that weaves a narrative. As the pieces come together, they collectively tell a story, each one invoking a unique set of emotions and movements. The amalgamation of colors, textures, and forms serves as a conduit for the expression of feelings that words often struggle to convey.

In “Pieces of Me,” art becomes the language that articulates the unspoken, a visual diary of emotions and movements that transcend the boundaries of language. It’s a journey into the depths of the human experience, an exploration of the complexity of our inner worlds, brought to life through each carefully crafted brushstroke and each piece of this unique collection.
