At Sophie Stiller Studio,
artworks and design objects come to life
– inspired by Portugal, shaped by timelessness and craftsmanship.

“A CASA DA LUZ”
This mural was created for a wonderful family living on Portugal's southwest coast.
In my work, I strive to incorporate elements that hold personal significance to the family and reflect their identity. Since they are Christian, the mural includes symbols representing their faith. Additionally, the natural surroundings, such as the nearby ocean and lush greenery, played a vital role in shaping the composition.

“SOL NASCENTE &
SOL POENTE”
For this comission, I painted a doorframe and a mural in the living room for each of the two holiday apartments called “Sol Nascente” (Rising Sun) and “Sol Poente” (Setting Sun).

FROM NILE TO ALGARVE
These two murals were created for Marina and her wonderful family living in the Algarve. In the one with the arch, you can find elements that held significance for the family, such as the 'pax' symbol or the dog, reflecting the fact that they are owners of three dogs.
The other mural is located near the entrance of Marina’s house. It features astrological symbols representing the family members: two Libras and a Taurus. Additionally, it includes the Egyptian symbol "Ankh" to signify eternal life, depictions of their three dogs, the sun, the moon, and native plants from the Algarve.

“BURROS & ARTES”
This mural, created for the farm “Burros & Artes,” embodies playfulness, joy, and a deep connection with nature and animals. As part of the program, a workshop on traditional Portuguese pottery is also offered, and some ceramic elements have found their way into the artwork.

MURAL FOR
NORA-LEE & FAMILY
Creating this mural was a deeply personal and special process, involving close interaction with Nora-Lee and her family, which includes her partner Ritchy and their two children, Massimo and Lia. The mural was designed to serve as a meaningful "manifesto" for the family—a source of inspiration and comfort through both good and challenging times.
