Interview by Jimon<\/p>\n

1-Where were you born and where do you currently live and create?\u00a0 <\/strong>I was born and raised in a small village in Netherlands. Because of my study I moved to Rotterdam at the age of 19 and never left. I currently live in the city center and work from my home studio.<\/p>\n

2-How would you describe Sophia van der Meijden?\u00a0 <\/strong>I am continuously searching for myself, reflecting about the past and using those insights to guide me into the future. Talking philosophically with my friends or being on my own with my cat Vector.<\/p>\n

3-What was your first experience with art as a kid?\u00a0 <\/strong>My parents are real art lovers. During my childhood, Sundays were spent being dragged around museums. That is how I came in contact with art at a really young age. My father is an architect, so family holidays were planned around visiting buildings and churches, to the annoyance of the rest of the family. Looking back on my childhood, I am very grateful to my parents for my (art) education that I am now building on.
