Sophie Asselin is a French Canadian self-taught artist based in Montreal. Following a background in visual arts and graphic design, she began a successful career in photography. In 2018, she started to work intensively with abstract art in order to explore a more intimate and personal visual language. At the end of 2021, the artist's career took an important turn; Sophie acquires a mastery of colours and a more assumed style. The use of oil paint plays a significant role in this breakthrough. This medium is perfectly suited to the creative spirit of the artist. Attracted by experimentation, oil offers her new avenues of exploration.

In just a few years, her work is being noticed across North America. Her artworks are part of many private collections in Canada, the United States, Europe, Asia and also Australia. In June 2022 she organizes her very first solo gallery exhibition, at Atelier Galerie 2112 in Montreal. The same year, her work was selected by the team of Friend of the Artist (FOA), which allowed her a publication in volume 15; FOA is a bi-annual publication highlighting the work of talented emerging artists from all around the world. Sophie also counts among her collectors, the Colombian ambassador of Canada and several Quebec public figures.
