In the dream-touched realm of Sharon Sayegh’s art, every canvas unfolds as a portal to both her past and evolving present. Her paintings, born from a fusion of memories and ethereal dreams, capture the essence of an ever-changing relationship with nature and the human psyche. Each brushstroke weaves a tapestry of symbolism, drawing from the richness of her childhood fantasies and the innocent wonder witnessed in her daughter. Her work echoes the delicate dance between fleeting emotions and the steadfast beauty inherent in life’s simplest moments. Sayegh’s commitment to her craft embodies a journey where she transforms the mundane into the magical, generously sharing glimpses of her vibrant imagination.
The creative odyssey of Sayegh is rooted in spirituality, as she views each piece as a sacred endeavor rather than just a technical exercise. Her approach is refreshingly raw, rejecting formulaic methods in favor of exploration and discovery. The act of painting becomes a spiritual practice, where colors bloom into profound experiences. The process she describes is not static but fluid; it is this ever-present sense of beginning anew that preserves the integrity and freshness of her work. In her canvases, there lies a reverence for creation, a nod to the divine in the ordinary, a vibrant challenge taken with courage each day.
Having painted my entire life I always self-identified as an artist. Art-making is a spiritual process and I only feel work is successful if I have been able to include a feeling of reverence or spirituality in my work. Creating a work of art is a god-like endeavor. To transform tubes of paint into an experience for the viewer is truly a magical experience for the creator. Approaching a new work is always a challenge as each piece requires a different approach than the preceding ones. A formula is never possible making me feel like a beginner every day even though I have spent years making art.
