SOFIA ELIAS (1995) HAS DEVELOPED A MULTIDISCIPLINARY PRACTICE. SHE IS A SCULPTOR, DRAFTSMAN, DESIGNER, AND ARCHI- TECT. HER WORK FOCUSES ON CREATING A PLAYFUL UNIVERSE INFORMED BY THE HISTORY OF ART AND ARCHITECTURE. BORN IN GUADALAJARA, ELIAS CURRENTLY RESIDES IN MEXICO CITY AND HAS FORMAL STUDIES IN FINE ARTS AND ARCHITECTURE.

CHILDREN’S PLAY SCAPES HAVE BEEN AN INSPIRATION AND REFERENCE FOR ELIAS THROUGHOUT HER CAREER; HER THESIS PROJECT WAS A SCULPTURAL PARK TITLED JUGANDO A JUGAR. THE PROCESS CONSISTED OF AN EXPLORATION OF MATERIALS, TEXTURES, AND COLORS, RESULTING IN A SERIES OF MODELS AND SCULPTURES, ALL ORGANIC IN FORM AND FLUID IN CONCEPTION.

IN 2019, SHE LAUNCHED HER BURGEONING AND INNOVATIVE BRAND, BLOBB, WHICH SHE REFERS TO AS: “MINIATURE SCULPTURE FOR THE BODY”. BLOBB HAS SERVED AS A PLATFORM FOR ELIAS TO EXTEND HER PRACTICE, ALLOWING HER TO EXPERIMENT WITH FORM, MATTER AND SCALE. THIS APPROACH HAS RESULTED IN A SERIES OF PLAYFUL SCULPTURES THAT AIM TO RAISE CONSCIOUSNESS.

IN 2021-22, SHE BUILT HER FIRST TWO PLAYGROUNDS, LOCATED IN THE STATES OF TABASCO AND QUINTANA ROO, MEXICO, AND THIS PROJECT HAS KEPT GROWING SINCE, IN 2023 SHE CONCLUDED ANOTHER PLAYGROUND FOR A PRIVATE CLIENT IN MEXICO CITY, AND IN 2024 SHE BUILT AN EPHEMERAL ONE IN NEW YORK CITY, THAT IS NOW LOCATED IN MARFA, TEXAS.
