 Sara was living and working in Paris at a very young age at 17. A life changing experience that reinforced her need for movement, energy, and art. While in Paris,  Sara studied sculpture at Ateliers D’Art De St Maur Des Fosses, and further continued her education in South Florida as an assistant of the critically lauded  artist Purvis Young.

 

 Sara returned to her Florida roots, which has inspired her to create a fresh, new, mystical aquatic series involving natural mixed media such as raw silver dust and 18k gold leafing, raw color pigments, mica flakes, and natural crystals.

 

“My work is intended to instantaneously immerse the viewer into the visual and emotional energies that I have devoted to each piece. Depending on one’s ability and willingness to be guided by the senses, these paintings can lead one away from the mind and into an alternate and self-made reality filled with color and freedom. My new series features blues. I love working with this color because it changes in the light by manipulating the textures and layering with silver dust or gold; affording each piece continuous movement and energy from the reflecting and refracting light.”

Established in her process and prompting a visual-emotional impression with the viewer, the medium and large scale works in this series exploit the chromatic effects of their metallics and paint.  Consequently, and quite beautifully the surface of the art is so very physical.

​

Ms. Conca arrived at this instinctual painting style through the awareness of her senses, yes: but with a significant nod to her lineage.  Sebastiano Conca (b. 1680, d. 1764), whose work is on permanent exhibition at the Louvre, The Getty and in venerable museum Collections throughout the world is no doubt a genetic influencer and it is with this provenance she has become a highly regarded artistic force.
