SARAH VRIELING (1995)
My work is about stillness, memory, and the quiet beauty of nature. I create paintings inspired by flowers, plants and natural shapes. Through my work, I try to capture not only what something looks like, but also the feeling it gives. A soft moment, a memory or a sense of calm.
I am drawn to silhouettes, shadows and simple forms because they leave space for imagination. Instead of painting nature in a very detailed or realistic way, I focus more on mood and feeling. For me, flowers are more than just flowers. They can stand for vulnerability, longing, change, beauty and the passing of time.
In my paintings, I like to balance softness with simplicity. I often work with warm colors, subtle textures and natural tones to create depth and atmosphere. I am interested in how something quiet and minimal can still hold emotion and meaning.
At the heart of my work is a wish to slow down and notice the small things that are often overlooked. My paintings invite the viewer to pause, reflect and find beauty in fragile and fleeting moments.
