2 Poppies (17×17 encaustic painting on paper)

Sara Rosen was born in the historical capitol city of Warsaw, Poland in 1960. Sara began exploring her artistic talent at a very young age through art classes and ballet lessons. At the young age of 19, Sara immigrated to Canada. Young and learning to speak the language, Sara took comfort in what she knew best – her passion for the arts. Sara’s natural talent and artistic ability has enabled her to develop her unique form of the encaustic technique. This oldest method of painting consists of mixing pure pigment with bee’s wax, creating soft texture and color. The soft images of elegant flowers and simple fruit arrangements in a mysterious abstract background give the viewer a dream-like experience. Furthermore, the encaustic method itself gives a fleshy appearance to Sara’s artwork, which adds depth, dimension, and a surface translucence that draws the eye in. Sara continues to explore new techniques, while refining and perfecting her skills. Sara’s work is shown in many corporate and private collections throughout Europe, Canada and the United States. She resides in Toronto, Canada with her husband and children.
