Meet the Artist
Detroit-based artist Sophia Lauren Franco is a proud Mexican-American creative recognized for her dreamy, realistic portraiture. Her distinctive editorial style seamlessly blends captivating realism with bold, expressive colors, enabling her to capture an emotional depth in her subjects. Franco’s recent foray into visual arts is deeply rooted in her creative interests as a youth, where she began by drawing her environment with simplistic materials. This body of work offers a nostalgic, archival glimpse into her family’s experiences growing up as Latinos in the Midwest.
Sophia’s work has been featured in gallery exhibitions and editorial projects, resonating with a sense of authenticity and depth. Her portfolio includes collaborations with Freya Films, Sports Illustrated Kids, Entertainment Weekly, L.A. Times: The Envelope, and Loco Boys Brewery.
