Bio
Sogol is an Iranian illustrator and designer based in the United States, whose work investigates identity, self-discovery, and psychological narrative through a visual language that is both whimsical and introspective. Working across digital and traditional media, she develops a distinctly recognizable style, often using simplified, limbless female figures to express vulnerability, transparency, and the tension between the desire for freedom and the feeling of constraint. Her practice invites viewers to engage with ambiguity, emotion, and curiosity—encouraging questions rather than providing definitive answers.
Rooted in an ongoing process of personal and artistic exploration, Sogol’s work is informed by her interest in Jungian theory, shadow work, and the therapeutic dimensions of creativity. Art-making serves as a space for reflection and emotional expression, where the process holds as much meaning as the final image.
Teaching is a central pillar of her practice. She views the classroom as a collaborative environment where learning flows in both directions, and where students are encouraged to develop confidence, independence, and a strong sense of personal voice. Inspired by her own formative experiences with mentors, she is committed to supporting young artists as they navigate their creative identities and discover new possibilities within both design and fine art.
