Milan Sodoma is a contemporary Czech visual artist based in Prague. His work combines minimalist aesthetics with intuitive expression, using black as a central visual and symbolic element. With a background in graphic and industrial design, he is a self-taught painter who creates primarily in large formats, often without preliminary sketches. His process is rooted in focused gesture, spontaneity, and visual experimentation, balancing formal reduction with spiritual depth.
At the core of his personal artistic practice lies black ink painting — an exploration of form, presence, and transformation. Working mainly with ink on cotton canvas, Sodoma creates figurative works that emerge in a single, uninterrupted flow. His aim is not literal representation but resonance — a visual language that touches on the body, space, impermanence, and inner change. His paintings are meditative yet bold, inviting introspection and emotional response.
Out of a desire to separate a more intuitive and decorative stream of his work, he founded Atramé — a curated platform for art prints and small originals artworks on paper. Focused on femininity, softness, and visual harmony, Atramé offers selected ink-based motifs as high-quality prints designed to enrich everyday spaces. It serves as an independent creative channel, allowing him to reach a broader audience and to give form to a lighter, more accessible aspect of his expression.
