Sofie Shamel is a Danish-American artist based in Lisbon, Portugal. Working with acrylic and oil pastel on linen, she creates atmospheric paintings inspired by nature, memory, and the personal relationships we form with places.

Drawing from landscapes both observed and remembered, her work explores how encounters with nature become embedded in our emotional lives. Organic forms emerge through layered surfaces and muted palettes, occupying a space between abstraction and representation.

Rather than depicting specific locations, Shamel's paintings evoke the experience of being in relation to a place, how memory softens, distills, and transforms what we see. Through subtle gestures and quiet compositions, her work invites contemplation, creating space for viewers to bring their own experiences and associations to the landscape.
