Azzurro, Italian for azure, is that very special blue one finds in ocean water or in the sky on a clear day. I was amused to learn that the word azure has come to us from a French mistranslation of the Arabic word al-lazaward, meaning tapiz azluli, which is a bright deep or cyan blue mineral or stone from the Middle East. I chose to call this work Azzurro because it reminds me of my summers in the southern Mediterranean, where the water can at times be so dazzling that it actually appears as a shiny mineral or crystal. And when you stare at it carefully, it lets you to see its coarse pigments within. Mixed with light, Azzurro is a fusion of blue and cyan.

Fascinated by the power of colours and painting as an expression of liberty and happiness, Sabine Haanaes is a Belgian artist who experienced an urge to paint to represent visually what she felt over a decade ago. Having lived in the Nordic lights for many years she became more aware of the impact of colours. Now, in Geneva, Switzerland she is inspired by the changes in nature, the lake and the mountains. In contrast to the rigor and structure of her education and first work experiences, Sabine's artwork conveys freedom and spontaneity, mix nuances and textures in an agile pursuit of aesthetic and emotion. She paints to express and loves to make different materials work together harmoniously. She refuses to limit her creation to a single type of paint or tool and uses multiple and untraditional materials and techniques, Sabine inspiration comes from contrasting surroundings, impulsive impressions and her unique interpretation of color.
