Resident artist Sossy is an experienced painter with a bold and striking style developed after years of painting. Creating beautiful and deeply moving pieces that speak to her history and place in the world, Sossy’s work aims to connect with the viewer through their own lived experience and interpretation of her work. While heavily influenced by abstract art and its ability to inspire curiosity and emotion through colour, form, texture and scale, Sossy still regularly applies representational reference points when painting her widely-loved Judaica art. Having picked up her first paintbrush at the age of four, Sossy has always understood the importance of art as a means of self expression both for the artist and those who enjoy it.

Sossy’s Judaica themed work began as realism and portraiture while living in Melbourne as she explored the city’s rich art culture. After moving to Israel to live for four years, Sossy regularly visited the Old City of Jerusalem where she mingled with Israeli artists who inspired and influenced her work as a Judaica artist. Weaving her way through European art galleries, Sossy had a deeply transformative experience while viewing Gustav Klimt’s work in Vienna. Having spent years perfecting a classical style that was underpinned with technical skill, Sossy was moved to transition her style to abstract work with symbolist and impressionist influences, paving the way for her distinctive abstract Judaic style she maintains today.
As an art teacher and creative, Sossy splits her time designing novel artworks and custom commissioned art, while hosting oil painting workshops to help others develop their artistic skills. Sossy finds great meaning in her creative work, particularly through custom commissioned artwork, as she captures and expresses the story, memories, and symbols of her clients’ lives.
