Sol Kordich

Sol Kordich (b. 1995) is an Argentinian artist born in Buenos Aires who lives and works in Berlin. She studied Architecture and Urbanism at the University of Buenos Aires, a background that continues to inform her understanding of the canvas as a spatial and psychological construction.

Working through abstraction, Kordich approaches painting as an inquiry into the unknown and the invisible forces that shape experience. Her compositions emerge through the gradual accumulation of colour, gesture and translucent layers, producing dense yet luminous surfaces in which forms appear to emerge, dissolve and conceal one another. Rather than following a predetermined image, she allows each painting to develop its own internal logic through the process of making.

Painting for Kordich is physical and performative, engaging the body through repeated, rhythmic gestures and cadenced strokes. Her architectural understanding of space intersects with an ongoing practice of writing, while fragments of poetry, notation, mythology and mystical symbolism enter the conceptual foundations of her work. Through these different languages, she explores the tension between what can be made visible and what remains inaccessible or concealed.

Kordich's paintings construct dreamlike territories in which memory, tension, chaos and harmony coexist. Abstraction becomes a means of approaching thoughts and sensations before they settle into fixed meanings, allowing colour and rhythm to articulate psychological and emotional states that resist verbal definition. Her work has been exhibited internationally in Berlin, Buenos Aires, Barcelona, Miami, Milan, Panama City and Seoul, among other cities. She is represented by Mariane Ibrahim Gallery, Chicago and Paris.
