The title Pangaea, from the Greek pan (entire), and Gaia (Earth), refers to a super continent that existed about 250 million years ago before Earth was separated into its current configuration of different continents. Born in Mexico City in 1970, Sodi lived in Paris, Barcelona, and Berlin before arriving in New York, and maintains studios in Berlin, Barcelona, Mexico, and New York. Sodi creates works that explore the areas where nature and human merge and that seek the beauty behind destruction. His pieces impart a heightened sense of spirituality through materiality, while at the same time transcending material properties. As materials available vary among locations, each of his paintings is uniquely linked to the place in which it is created; Pangaea was painted in the artist's New York studio.
