The artist's work will enchant you with its beauty, vivid colors, storytelling 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 lights and shadows.
She has had over 80 solo exhibitions on three continents and her artworks are in posession of art collectors from all around the world.

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 cultural 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, the project “Party in the 21st Century”, including the paintings, has been part of the official Slovak 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 in 2018 by Re:publika, festival marking the 100th anniversary of the founding of Czechoslovakia, as the only art exhibition representing Slovakia in the event. Czechia was presented by Alfons Mucha collection.
Collection “Party in the 21st Century” received a Certificate of Excellence by Artavita, an international online gallery, in 2017.
A music video “Odraz duše” by Inside and Peter Cmorík (Superstar winner) released in 2016 was inspired by Sarah´s life.
In 2016, she set up the concept of the Party in the 21st century project and became its first painter. The collaboration proved to be successful right from the beginning when the opening exhibition witnessed all its artwork been sold. This happened for the first time in Slovak history.
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.
