Sophia aka Merenta, is a 19 year old Cyprus based graphic design student and a 2D artist. She went through a lot of phases such as realism, portraits, animal drawings, furry art, yet now she is focusing on digital art mostly with video game and anime themes. Being a professional artist and make a living from it has always be her life goal and is doing her best to achieve it day by day.

Merenta has started taking her career more seriously from around 2019, by doing commissions, studies, and in general trying to get her art to a more advanced level. Drawing is the only thing that she can see herself doing as a career,as its not only an interest but a huge passion.

Her main priority at the moment besides improving, is to attend conventions where she can start selling her art and meet new people who are interested or like her work, and if she sees interest in her country, she is planning to attend other conventions outside of Cyprus in the future.
