Slightly Bi-polar art

I just finished two pieces of art in the last week. They are very different from each other to say the least. One is a symbolic commentary on our youth, religion and the times we live in and the other is light and frothy.
See if you can tell which is which...

"Untitled Saint"-watercolor

"Musings II"-watercolor and ink

Please pass this along and check out my website for prints and other stuff!

About Sara's Work

I paint watercolor, mixed media, and acrylic art.
My work is based on religious themes in a tradition that goes back thousands of years(i.e Leonardo da Vinci and Michaelanglo). I research symbolism, mostly Judeo-Christian, and incorporate these symbols into my paintings. Some pieces are more obviously religious in theme than others. I enjoy the way that symbols can be interpreted in many different ways depending on the viewer, but I do create my pieces with a specific theme in mind.
I like incorporating images from pop culture and juxtaposing traditional images with contemporary icons to comment on generational misunderstandings and reconciling the influences of the past with the trends of the present. The work of David Salle and Salvador Dali have influenced the structure of my work and the way I communicate in my paintings. I am also inspired by contemporary pop surrealists and street artists.
