ABOUT

Hello my name is Elba Pavon, I am an art enthuses and a mom of two beautiful girls named Sofia who is 3 years old and Aria 2 months old. I live in the wonder city of Miami, Fl where the art is our culture. Miami and both my girls have inspired me to embrace my creative side. While pregnant the first time, I found my niche for designing and painting canvases. It came naturally to me as I have training as a graphic designer. I enjoyed designing and painting so much I started a small side business called Sofia Art Corner. I specialize in custom painted canvases with designs of animals, shapes, patterns, characters, and the sky’s the limit! Custom canvases make great gifts for baby showers, birthday’s, holidays, special occasions, and more. But I'm always trying out different types of art mediums to master my craft. My goal is to one day convert this into a successful business; but for now, starting small is the smart way to go.

I'm writing this blog so everyone can see my art and my artistic city from it's museum, performing arts, live music, film and more. As well has introducing any other city's art I come cross and any feature artists.

Minion Meets Mushrooms Lego Pixel Art

Minion meets old school mushrooms. I was inspired by the fact my toddler is crazy about anything and everything Minions. I saw a drawing about this so, I took it upon myself to build this piece about of my toddler's legos. It was easy since her legos are everywhere in the house.

Rubber Ducky for a Baby Girl's Birthday

For my first assignment, my client requested a rubber ducky design for a baby girl's birthday. Using acrylic paint on a 12x12 canvas, I painted a duck figure floating on water surrounded by bubbles. To create a pop-out illusion for the floating ducky, I painted the stripped border in hot and light pink.

The canvas is packaged and ready for my client's smile! 

My First Three Canvases

After I successfully painted the letter "S" I decide to be brave and paint a small canvas. It was the same concept as the letter "S", but in a canvas form. I wanted to do 3 canvases to hang over Sofia's crib. The stencil designs I created were inspired by Sofia's crib bedding set. To start off the first canvas I began to paint it in a soft gray color. Then I stenciled the pattern design onto the canvas and painted it in white. Lastly, I painted the letter "S" in the middle of the canvas in white. I was really proud of what I had accomplished, I recreated the process for the letter "P".

After completing the first canvas, I wanted to use a similar concept, but at the same time make something slightly different. I started out by painting a new canvas in hot pink. I stenciled the letter "V" and the pattern design onto the canvas. Then I went back to color the pattern design in color white. After I finished, I felt something was missing. Again looking to Sofia's crib bedding for inspiration, I noticed the cute bird design and decided to incorporate it onto the new canvas. I proceeded to draw the bird, then stenciled the pattern on it. Afterwards I painted the bird in pink. The end products were so pretty, I was really happy with my work. I hope you enjoy them too!

It all started with the letter "S".

During my pregnancy, I had a million ideas about decorations and designs for my baby’s nursery. I started to search several websites looking for what I had in my mind for decor. I found several cute ideas, however they cost a fortune. After looking for weeks I decided I could design decorations myself. Trained as a graphic designer I acquired an eye for design, but had no exposure to painting as a medium. I initially began to experiment with a small canvas to see if I could really do it. It all began with the letter “S”, the first letter of my beautiful baby girl’s name Sofia. The stencil designs I created were inspired by Sofia's crib bedding set. Firstly, I painted the “S” in a soft gray; secondly I stenciled the design onto the letter, and finally painted the stencil design in white and the rest is history! To my surprise the project came out lovely – my personal touch added a beautiful glow to my baby’s nursery. I enjoyed making something so special for my little girl, I've decided to be brave and create more designs on canvas to share with you!
