Hidden inside the peaceful Goorambat Uniting Church, Sophia is a striking mural by acclaimed artist Adnate, created in 2017 as part of the Benalla Street Art Festival. The work was commissioned to reflect the church's values of faith, community and inclusion, and has since become a moving highlight for visitors exploring the region.
Representing the feminine spirit of God, Sophia draws on ancient biblical tradition and symbolises wisdom, strength and grace. Her calm yet powerful presence creates a rare meeting of sacred space and contemporary art, leaving many visitors inspired long after they leave.
Adnate's signature realism brings the mural vividly to life, transforming this charming country church into a destination that blends art, reflection and local story. It is an experience that invites you to slow down, look closely and connect with the character of Goorambat.
As part of North East Victoria's celebrated silo and street art trail, Sophia is a standout stop for art lovers, day-trippers and curious travellers alike. Pair your visit with Goorambat's other iconic artworks and enjoy the warmth, creativity and quiet charm that make this small town such a rewarding place to explore.
