Since 2015, she was ranked repeatedly every year by an international cultural portal theculturetrip.com among 10 Slovak artists you should know.
She is an author of the world’s best sport-themed stamp from 2011 awarded by the StampNews International.
Sarah Avni has had already 90 solo exhibitions on three continents and her works are part of art collections of collectors from all over the world. She is an artist whose work is already an investment.
The painter’s works will enchant you with their vivid colors, hidden symbols and leave you with vibrations of positive energy.
Sarah finds inspiration in Eastern philosophy and its approach rather than Western painting. Although originally trained as a classical painter, her main themes are metaphysical laws, the creation of reality and her purpose is to direct the viewer’s soul to these principles. Her paintings are created in collections that may appear disparate at first glance, but all together form the elements of a puzzle.
Her works are recognizable at first glance because of their distinctive energy, but also because of her original techniques, such as the specific structure that creates the impasto effect. She also often works with old master techniques of gilding and mixing pigments, which allow her to play more effectively with lights and shadows.
In 2019 she revealed a special collection of “rock” paintings where she was inspired by the music of a fantastic Slovak band, INSIDE. This unique collaboration of artists aims to deepen the artistic experience. The paintings will be on display during some of the INSIDE concerts as well as on their album cover named Čas (EN: Time).
Since 2018 is the project that includes the paintings from the collection “Party in the 21st Century” a part of Slovakia official brand GOOD IDEA SLOVAKIA.
CIRCLE, an international art magazine, published one of the paintings from the collection “Party in the 21st Century” in spring issue in 2018. Those are published artworks regarded as current trends and original practices in visual art worldwide.
Collection “Party in the 21st Century” was chosen by Re:publika, one of the greatest cultural festivals in Czech Republic, as the only one art exhibition presenting Slovakia in the festival.
Collection “Party in the 21st Century” received a Certificate of Excellence by Artavita, an international active online gallery, in 2017.
A video clip by Inside and Peter Cmorík, “Odraz duše”, released in 2016, was inspired by Sarah´s life.
Since 2016, she has been the main artist of a very successful folklore-artistic project: Party in the 21st century. The works from this collection inspired by the Slovak crafts were created in collaboration with LSZ photography.
In 2016, a few of her paintings were published in the 100th edition of the British Vogue.
Life is the highest form of art, we create it with God. The symbols we surround ourselves program our subconscious mind and thus our life. As an artist, I feel responsible for the symbols and energy I create.
What inspires you?
Inspiration comes to me from above, my task is then to persevere and lovingly realize the artwork.
Describe your creative process.
In general, I think that we create things not only with our hands and thoughts, but mainly with our soul, and these then manifest themselves in the work / artwork itself. For me personally it's important to keep a positive mindset, that energy can be felt in my paintings, same way as when someone cooks with love for you. The difference is more in sensation than in taste.
What are 3 words that best describe your work?
positive energy, sacred geometry, metaphysics in modern art
Who are some artists that have influenced your work?
Inspiration comes to me from above, but I know of cases where other artists are trying to create paintings similar to mine. An exception is one of my Water Lily collections, where I combine my original structural technique with classical works by Claude Monet.
What is the most important tool when creating your work?
light
What is the best piece of advice you have been given?
When I paint, I often remember a professor of mine talking about the importance of the details of the artwork itself, each detail needs to be paid attention to and looked at as a separate artwork piece.
Where do you go for inspiration?
I don't go for her, she comes on her own, I just try to leave the door open for her when she comes in and examine things through the eyes of a child.
