Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the Lord.вЂќ (Psalm 40:1-3)

He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. He drew me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure. вЂњI waited patiently for the Lord he inclined to me and heard my cry. ItвЂ™s time to gain victory over the power that darkness has had over you! As I learned to allow His light to shine forth in the darkness, I was given victory over the power of darkness that was seeking to swallow me up. Some of my greatest victories have been won in my darkest hours. What if you replace the word death with darkness? Surely darkness is swallowed up in victory when we declare His glorious goodness and light. O death, where is your victory? O death where is your sting?вЂќ (1 Corinthians 15:55) As you declare the truth of who He is and offer the worship that He is due, the darkness suddenly becomes swallowed up in victory. The times in life that leave you standing in the dark can become the most holy moments as you learn to declare His faithfulness and goodness in the face of opposing circumstances. Rather than let the darkness swallow you, let the light of Christ swallow the darkness. Cry out to the One who is the Light of the World and in the midst of the darkness declare that you have been given a great light. Allow the yearning of your soul in the dark night to become the sound of surrender. But if you are standing in the midst of the darkest hour, IвЂ™d like to encourage you to make that place a holy place. We often throw around these little quotes such as, вЂњItвЂ™s always darkest before the dawnвЂќ or вЂњThe end is merely signaling your new beginningвЂќ after weвЂ™ve come through the darkness. I have also learned through those dark moments to stand on the truth that I know rather than on what I see (or in those momentsвЂ¦what I canвЂ™t see!). She sells her paintings internationally.вЂњMy soul yearns for you in the night, and in the morning my spirit searches and looks out for you.вЂќ (Isaiah 26:9)ДЄre you facing a darkness that has left you without sight or light? Throughout my life, I have often found that right before the dawn breaks through, the darkness will appear as though it will swallow me alive. Sonia regularly exhibits her work at galleries and art fairs in Europe.

As a result, her paintings often incorporate figurative elements in her abstract works, giving rise to atmospheric compositions. SoniaвЂ™s intuitive style emanates from a meditative place. These manifest in psychological icons, blueprints of the mind in a wide variety of media.

An elaborate art vocabulary allows her to bring to life powerful conceptualisations of mental phenomena, informed by thorough research and synthesised through visionary imagination.

Sonia focuses predominantly on geometric abstraction. Her career in fine art spans over two decades, with a distinctive body of work characterised by a vivid chromatic palette, a detailed execution, and a futuristic edge. Art and science converge in her paintings, manifesting in insightful explorations of mind and nature. A self-taught artist and psychologist, she was inspired by Leonardo da Vinci from an early age. Having travelled extensively, she settled in the UK. Sonia Ben Achoura was born in Paris, France.
