Bright Colorful Abstract Art – ‘Granada’ by Sophia Persephone
I specialise in bright, colourful abstract art, and I’m endlessly drawn to strong, vibrant hues. I love playing with colour to find surprising yet harmonious combinations that bring a piece to life.
My process is entirely intuitive. I never plan the outcome—I simply begin and let the work evolve. I build up many layers over time, allowing fragments of earlier stages to peek through the final composition. This layering adds complexity and depth, giving the viewer something new to discover each time they look.
This particular piece came to evoke the city of Granada for me—a place close to my heart and not far from my home in Southern Spain. I was especially struck by the view of the city from the Alhambra terrace during a visit, and something of that memory wove itself into the painting as I worked.
The landscape here lends itself naturally to bold abstract work. I’m inspired by the contrast between the brilliant white buildings, the deep shadows cast by the fierce sun, and the bursts of colour from flowers and painted façades.
I didn’t set out to paint Granada—but as often happens with my work, a theme emerged as the painting progressed. It’s a pattern I’ve come to recognise: I begin with a few loose marks in charcoal to establish a rhythm, then paint freely, with no fixed idea in mind. Yet again and again, my surroundings make themselves felt, finding their way onto the canvas through colour, form, and energy.
