Vicky Sarri was born in Athens in 1982. In 2016, having 15 years in the financial sector, she approaches the visual arts and starts academic drawing and painting courses in a school of Fine Arts in Athens. By creating a union between different techniques, including pencil and charcoal drawing, the use of water-soluble inks, acrylics and the digital medium, Vicky gives life to new and multimedia images with a strong visual and perceptive impact. She highlights with extreme clarity an emotional flow that affects the soul of those who observe these works. Every detail gives shape and substance to the elements, enhancing a sense of absolute depth. Vicky creates a great play of light and shadow between what is visible and only the mind's eye can perceive. By indelibly imprinting her subconsious, thus creating a strong and intense chromaticism, the artist gives ample space to her inner world, making clear some thoughts that are often difficult to communicate verbally. The represantation of different details that create a pleasant dynamism within each image shows an alternation of phazes that essentially pass from realism to idealization, from stylization of the signs to their expressionist transformation. The desire to express emotions and feelings is vivid: everything is immersed in a mystical three-dimensional dimension, beyond time and space. From her artworks emerges an immediate sensorial charge that is so concrete and profound that it highlights her stylistic research. By managing to harmonize the colour combinations, Vicky Sarri aims to create a representations free from any preconception, fully autonomous and intense. Why art? I do believe that through art we can capture our feelings, some certain sentiments that we will never want to forget. And thus, understanding our existence in life and the meaning of death, with all its means. I like to observe, remove, and capture a story through my own path in life. Her artworks are exhibited in galleries in Greece and abroad in several group exhibitions (2017-present). She lives and works in Athens. Her artworks are exposed to public spaces and in private collections in Athens.
