Sally Farkad

I am a contemporary Canadian Artist who
seeks the extraordinary in the ordinary.
In doing so I hope to comment on pop
culture, celebrity, nostalgia and the current
melees of information received through
technology.

Art is more than just a practice, it’s a way
of life. Art is more than just a skill it’s a
passion. Art is more than just an image as each one tells a story,
therefore it’s an essential ingredient
in empowering people’s hearts.

Dreaming, escaping, flying away,
traveling, making the best hidden things
visible, this is my primary approach.

A biochemist, hence, I like to test colors and dare to combine them
resolutely seeking to give color to life.

An adventurer, who dares to travel with my
painting, of which I know neither
the destination nor the duration of
the journey.

My technique involves sometimes mixes painting and collage,
photographs or bits of words as persistent
elements in our memory.

My canvases give a new definition
of beauty. It is not only about aesthetics,
but also about harmony, contrasts
and energy.
