​​Laura Sofia Hinojosa is a Peruvian artist and writer based in Boston, Massachusetts. Through paintings, drawings, and photographs, she depicts experiences from the natural, metaphysical, and psychic worlds, exploring the intersection of different planes of existence. She works with silhouettes and geometrized realism, further adding meaning through repetition of symbols, including those of the natural world 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 Bachelor’s of Arts with Honors in History from Mount Holyoke College. She was the recipient of the Evelyn Church Wilbur Prize for outstanding work in History, the Mariposa prize, and the Joseph Skinner Fellowship in Art. She is currently pursuing a Masters of Fine Arts at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University, where she served as a Teaching Assistant in Still Life Photography and Visualizing the Curatorial Idea. Her work has been featured in the following exhibitions: Boston Young Contemporaries at Stone Gallery, Boston; IT FOLLOWED ME HOME at Gallery 263, Cambridge; Casa Tierra at Espacio 303, Lima; Sacra, Lima; Visions of the Void at Blanchard Gallery, South Hadley; and Deep Dive at Gaylord Memorial Library. She is currently working as the archives and research assistant for the Tufts Archival Research Center.
