S.O.S.A. Studio LLC operates as the operational arm, providing administrative support for artist Julysa Sosa. Additionally, the studio manages inventory and fulfills orders for the online shop.
The name "South of San Antonio" holds dual symbolism for artist Julysa Sosa. It cleverly serves as an acronym for "S.O.S.A.," representing the family’s last name, and a slogan Julysa always heard her father say with pride growing up.
"South of San Antonio" also contextualizes the Sosa family’s chosen home of San Antonio, Texas, and pays homage to their migration. It anchors the studio in the cultural context of Julysa's birthplace in the bordertown of Brownsville, Texas, and extends beyond the border, linking the studio to her ancestral homelands in Mexico.
In essence, "South of San Antonio" pays homage to artist Julysa Sosa's roots while grounding her present artistic vision, serving as a bridge between worlds.
