Sofia Moreno was born and raised in Coahuila, Mexico. In 1994 she
immigrated to the United States, where she currently lives and works.
Prior to moving to Chicago Moreno lived in Dallas, Texas. Sofia Moreno is a
multimedia artist and her subjects include expressions of the sacred and
profane, the body, sexuality, religion and socio-political issues within
contemporary culture. Moreno is currently working on the follow up to
her three-year project P o r n A g a i n. "I'm interested in the essence
of the body rather than the form itself. I paint a sexually and
spiritually confused youth." – Sofia Moreno.
