I am Sofia Hallik — an artist, jeweller, researcher, and mentor based in Tallinn, Estonia. My practice moves between the tactile and the digital, between material and meaning. My work is shaped by curiosity — I listen to the material, not the manual.


SOMA
I once shaped chaos into a brooch and called it SOMA jewellery. I traced beauty in smooth lines, carved memory into wax, and let algorithms whisper forms into being. That is how SOMA began — as a space where craft meets technology, and tradition learns to speak anew. Whether by hand or with the help of a machine, I merge traditional techniques with digital processes — letting the past and future converse through form.


MENTORING
If it hurts not to create, you are likely sitting on something powerful — and I can help you unlock it. I offer artists, designers, and makers tools to expand their creative potential and navigate the complexities of building a sustainable creative brand. My aim is to help you bridge artistic expression and business thinking — while staying true to your essence.


PAINTING
My paintings are a meditation on contrast — between order and chaos, softness and structure. They are where emotion becomes gesture, and intuition takes shape. Painting is how I unmask — how I let raw feeling rise to the surface and stay close to what feels most true.


RESEARCH
As a PhD researcher at the Estonian Academy of Arts, I explore how touch, authorship, and materiality are reshaped in the digital age. My research focuses on the intersection of traditional craft and emerging technologies, with a particular emphasis on digital fabrication, algorithmic design, and AI-assisted processes in jewellery making.
