Taiteeni on kerännyt vaikutteita länsimaiselta abstraktilta impressionismilta ja itämaiselta taiteelta. Töissäni voi nähdä mielen tuntemuksia, ei varsinaisesti tunteita. Ulkoinen tila, luonto, toimii usein luovuuden katalysaattorina. Koen itseni monessa mielessä pohjoisen taiteilijana. Värimaailmani ja ilmaisuni on askeettista.
The elements of space, light, silence and materiality have been present in Sofia Wilkman’s paintings at various stages in her career. When she has used colours, they have taken the form of monochromatic backgrounds or small highlights. The green, violet or purple backgrounds act as affective strata onto which viewers can project their own emotions.
Wilkman has, however, returned again and again to varying degrees of black-and-whiteness and grey.
