Sarah Abel DeLuca

Statement & Biography

Statement

I find the external world, just as it is, to be far more interesting than anything I could invent, perhaps because I see harmonies and repetitions of color, shape, and proportion wherever I look. My artistic goal is to understand and capture the outward appearance of my subjects (which process inevitably reveals their inner essence as well) within the structure of abstractly satisfying two-dimensional compositions.

"I don't draw a big distinction between my quick paintings and the sustained commissions. It's all just color, shape, and brushstroke." L to R: Two details each from "Boy in Striped Trunks" (chest, hair) and "At Bethany Beach" (boy's feet, woman's back), both under "Themed Series: Beachgoers" on this site.
