Hi, I’m Sonia, creator of SunFreeStar, an Artist and Designer, passionate about Nature, Mandalas, and joyful, bright, bold designs to brighten your day.
I love to create meaningful art that inspires your Spirit and connects you to Nature.
Creating Art allows me to focus on Nature’s Beauty, Harmony, and Perfection, filling me with inspiration to approach life’s challenges from a positive perspective.
A piece of Art is much more than just an image, it inspires an emotion, a state of being that defies logic. It is when you are in the comfort of your home or in your daily routine that you need a reminder that brings you back to Peace, helping you make better decisions for yourself, your loved ones, and as a result for the rest of the world.
SunFreeStar aims to be that gateway to inspiration, adorning your home with pieces of Art that empower you to pursue your dreams. Through inner Peace, Beauty becomes recognizable, so I wish that my Art will inspire that Peace for the nourishment of your soul.
I present my thoughts and experiences through, Original Paintings, Prints, Designs, and Blog Posts.
Three elements inspired the name:
Sun = the provider of energy and light.
Free = freedom to follow your own inner voice.
Star = the special shining light within you.
Altogether it represents the freedom to shine with your unique colors and live accordingly, sharing your beautiful gifts in line with the rhythm and laws of Nature.
Born in Ethiopia to Italian heritage, I’ve called Rome home for the past 11 years. Despite my family’s longstanding presence in Ethiopia, political unrest in the ’70s prompted our move to Italy, a place I did not know too well. My unique background left me feeling like a stranger in a new land. As a sensitive child, an unsupportive environment affected my motivation and academic performance significantly.
It wasn’t until we moved to Kenya at the age of 15 that my new Indian Art Teacher’s encouragement ignited my passion for art, she saw in me what I did not know was there. The world around me transformed into a canvas, as I became an avid observer of its intricate details.
Nature’s beauty and perfection enchanted me, sparking metaphysical questions and leading me on a path of spiritual exploration and self-growth. Art became my sanctuary, connecting me with my Inner Self.
I worked in tourism and globetrotting for years, while art remained my personal refuge. In my 30s, a move to Ibiza changed everything. Meeting fellow artists, I realized I could pursue art wholeheartedly, even if it meant sacrificing stability and comfort.
Years later, I found Mandalas and Sacred Geometry, a healing tool. The intricate calculations crafting a perfect image felt like magic, instilling calm, security, much-needed order, clarity, and balance in my life. This discovery led me to appreciate the hidden structure behind the Perfection of Creation, revealing the essence of Beauty and Harmony.
Through Art, I understand that life is a journey and it is a constant reminder that challenges are necessary for the process I am going through to acquire awareness and knowledge.
I hope to bring more peace and unity to the world by shifting people’s focus to the beauty of their spiritual connection to Nature and the sacredness of the soul, with each piece of my original art.
Currently, I reside on the outskirts of Rome with my parents and two beautiful furry cats. I dream of returning to a life immersed in nature, like the years I spent in my camper van. Yet, I’m grateful for my current situation, surrounded by olive trees and countryside, and with easy access to beautiful parks.
My studio, though small and shared with the building, is my haven. It’s filled with sunshine, offering me the peace and tranquility I need to bring any visions to life.
How I Have Added Value In People’s Life
Since deciding to devote my life to art, the focus of my artistic experience has been to awaken people to their inner selves and Sacred connection to Nature through an immersive art experience. I’ve been involved in and created many projects for cultural festivals where visual arts and music in a natural setting created an atmosphere that helped people feel peaceful and joyful emotions, giving them a new perspective on life. By experiencing an alternative way of living during those moments with us, they would create change in their lives to reflect those feelings.
Based on my experience, the right kind of music, when unable to quiet the mind, combined with a type of artwork as decoration, creates an atmosphere that aids in reaching that higher frequency of positive and peaceful emotions that give meaning to life and make it worth living.
Everything starts with a Vision that comes from a particular moment, either during one of my walks in Nature, a conversation, reading an article, or listening to music.
I then sit quietly and meditate on that vision to feel the colors I wish to use and what materials I will need. If there is a particular subject, I prepare a few sketches, a new Mandala, an animal, or a flower: otherwise, I just let my hands go on their own. Everything else reveals itself during the process. The final result often will differ from the initial vision or what my mind thought. Still, it is always better and more in tune with the initial intention and feeling.
I have used different mediums and materials; my preference now is oil paints made with natural pigments. Driven by sustainability, I use as many natural materials as possible to avoid toxic substances that could harm the environment, health, or the home.
