Sofia Minson

Sofia Minson is a contemporary Māori artist of Ngāti Porou, Swedish, English, Scottish, and Irish descent. Based in Aotearoa, her work weaves ancestral wisdom with modern identity, exploring themes of Māori cosmology, the Divine Feminine, and cultural reconnection.

Raised across Samoa, Sri Lanka, China, and New Zealand, Sofia draws from global spiritual traditions—blending indigenous knowledge, sacred geometry, and archetypal symbolism. Her portraits and mythic scenes serve as portals for healing and remembering, inviting viewers into a deeper communion with self, spirit, and the earth.

Minson’s award-winning works are held in national and international collections, including Te Papa, the New Zealand Portrait Gallery, and private collections in Italy, Turkey, and the U.S.
