​​Laura Sofia Hinojosa is a Peruvian artist and writer based in Chicago, Illinois. Through paintings, drawings, and photographs, she depicts experiences from the natural, spiritual, and inner worlds, exploring the intersection of different planes of being. She works with light, shadows, and form, further adding meaning through repetition of symbols, including those of the animal world, religion, and the subconscious. Laura Sofia’s practice is guided by Indigenous cosmologies and psychoanalytic theory. Within the latter, psychopathologies, dream analysis, and memory repression are core subjects of inquiry. 

Laura Sofia earned a Master's of Fine Arts in Studio Art from School of the Museum of Fine Arts (SMFA) at Tufts University. She earned a Bachelor’s of Arts with Honors in History from Mount Holyoke College. Her area of study was Racial and Ethnic Groups in North America.
