SOPRA SOTTO
is an interdisciplinary art residency and embodied, creative think tank inspired by the mystical philosophy of "As above, so below".
The residency merges creativity, personal growth, and nature to inspire positive societal change, and embraces the interconnectedness of all things, offering an immersive communal living experience that provide a container to slow down, and reconnect to self, others and nature.
SOPRA SOTTO offers artist residencies, wellness retreats, and international art travel.
The art residencies are focused on interdisciplinary culture shapers. For several weeks, a group of creatives working in a variety of media live communally and create, work and learn together, approaching art and creativity as tools to examine and challenge dominating systems.
​
​​​​​​
The wellness retreats are open to anyone who wants to join (not just artists or creatives), and provide time in nature to slow down, get creative and nourish the body and mind.​

Through SOPRA SOTTO I also offer personalized contemporary art tours and travel experiences, providing an eye-opening perspectives of destinations like Amsterdam, Berlin, London and Florence through the lens of contemporary art and culture. In Autumn 2025 I'm excited to introduce Japan Group Art Trips in collaboration with our good friends in Tokyo at Wabi Sabi travel agency.
After founding and running my own company (Art Tours Berlin) for 4 years, I gained extensive experience organizing tailor-made art tours and trips. These catered to art lovers, collectors, and culturally curious people eager to explore local art scenes but unsure where to begin.

SOPRA SOTTO comes from "come sopra, così sotto", which comes from the mystical axiom "As above, so below. As within, so without. As the universe, so the soul." - from an ancient Hermetic text called the Emerald Tablet.
​
​This philosophy suggests the interconnectedness of the universe, where all is mirrored on different planes - be it macrocosmic/ microcosmic, spiritual/ material or celestial/ terrestrial. Understanding one level offers insight into another, and can reveal intricate patterns, the concept of oneness and interdependent the web of life. ​
