About
Hola, soy Sofía Rivero.
I create spaces where creativity flows freely. Based in Rome, I teach watercolor with a philosophy centered on relaxation, experimentation, and connection. Whether you're picking up a brush for the first time or looking to deepen your practice, my classes welcome all levels in a pressure-free environment where the focus is on enjoying the process, not perfecting the result.
From corporate to creative: After nearly seven years working in multinational companies as an International Relations graduate and Continuous Improvement specialist, I realized I needed to pause and reconnect with what truly matters. That journey led me here—to create the space I wish I'd had: a sanctuary for creativity, meaningful connection, and the freedom to simply be.
My background in management and process optimization now fuels how I design my workshops and build my brand, but with a completely different purpose: people's well-being, not productivity metrics
My studio is designed to be a visual sanctuary—a place where you can pause from daily life, meet like-minded people, and discover what happens when you give yourself permission to create without judgment. I believe that the best learning happens when students feel safe, supported, and inspired.
With fluency in multiple languages and a background in conservation and restoration of artworks, I bring together technical expertise and artistic sensitivity in every project. My approach combines precision and craftsmanship with an intuitive creative method—and above all, patience.
Today, I create original paintings and fine art prints while collaborating with brands and cultural spaces, developing content and artwork that connect art, aesthetics, and a slow-living lifestyle. I'm also building my personal brand through storytelling, including my podcast where I share my journey as an artist, educator, and someone who chose a different path.
