Flavour of Eden I.

70x70x4 cm / acrylic on canvas, 2023

This painting represents a Garden of Eden full of exotic flowers, similar to a moss bed, where one could lie and feel the energy of nature. The strong water element, shown from above, embraces the flowers and symbolizes the peaceful interconnection of all life. (Eden: the biblical paradise; in Hebrew 'delight', in Sumerian 'fertile land'.) A multi-coloured delicious combination of shades of pink, green, orange, yellow, blue and deep turquoise.

Let yourself be seduced by sensual texture, colour and anticipation. Painted with a heavy impasto technique that creates a luxurious relief. Almost 20 years ago, Sarah developed two related relief techniques of her own, at a time when hardly any painter worked this way: a low relief and a sunken relief, the latter otherwise typical of the art of ancient Egypt. The signature is on the side of the artwork.
