Biography
Artist Sarah I. Avni
The artist's work will enchant you with its vivid colours, hidden symbols and they will leave a vibe of positive energy in you. Sarah finds her inspiration rather in eastern philosophy and its approach than in western painting. Her work is recognizable at first glance also thanks to a special technique, which she invented. It is a specific structure creating impasto effect, but also old gilding techniques and mixed pigments which allow her to play more effectively with light and shadows.
In 2015, she was ranked by an international cultural portal theculturetrip among 10 Slovak artists you should know. She is also the author of the world's best sport-themed stamp from 2011 awarded by the StampNews International. In 2016, a few of her paintings were printed in the 100th edition of the British Vogue. Since 2016, she has been the main artist of a very successful folklore-artistic project: Party in 21st century. The works from this collection inspired by slovak crafts were created in collaboration with LSZ photography and were premiered at the Bratislava Castle (Slovakia) in April 2017. At the moment, she is preparing exhibitions for 2017 in New York, Ottawa, Vienna and Prague - where two of her permanent exhibitions are taking place.
