In this evocative painting, cherry blossoms dance against a deep sky with blue hues, creating a scene full of contrasting emotions. The impasto technique adds a tactile quality to the flowers, inviting the viewer to almost smell the delicate petals and atmosphere. The juxtaposition of the vibrant, joyful blooms with the moody background evokes a sense of serene beauty amidst the transience and renewal of life, giving the painting an almost time dimension. It is a unique fusion of the contemporary art approach with a touch of wabi-sabi.
Painted in low relief (bas-relief) using a special technique that almost looks like an impasto. Sarah created this original technique almost twenty years ago. Her paintings are also often sunken reliefs, typical only for works of art from ancient Egypt.
