Biography

SODOMA-X is a 22-year-old photographer, digital artist and
NFT artist currently based in London. (She creates works)
about self-expression and self-acceptance. Most of her works
are pretty dark, but it is just how she works to integrate into her
shadow, accepting the aspects suppressed by her ego and
then maintaining continuity and individuality. Her works are infinite darkness. They are horrific but stylised nightmares.
Her works have recognizable high fantasy and satanic styles
with extraordinary and provoking colour grading, sophisticated
compositing, and exquisite details. They are emotionally provoking pieces, driving viewers into an infinite dark fantasy realm and making viewers forget reality.

Artist Statement

'Weltschmerz' ( literally world-pain or world-weariness ) is the central concept of all my works. It is a literal concept describing the feeling experienced by an individual who believes that reality can never satisfy the mind's expectations, resulting in a mood of weariness or sadness about life arising from the acute awareness of evil and suffering.
Traditional photography and fascination with new technology (Stable Diffusion and Programme coding are also of great inspiration to me who then challenge myself in manipulating my media to combine this visually. The works in this exhibit feature a range of photography and new technology manipulation techniques, various types of processed colour grading and compositions.
I get inspiration from both imagery and music. I love dancing at nightclubs all night long with techno. I feel when dancing. It’s a kind of meditation status. I transform the parts of sound I resonate with the most into parts of visual features-the exquisite details. I love fast, intensive, groovy, dark and sophisticated beats. Many artists with distinguishable styles continuously give me inspiration. Visually, Greek mythology, Catholic paintings, Hieronymus Bosch, H.R. Giger’s, and Steven Klein’s works inspire me a lot.
