Sarah De Vos's Art Style

Sarah De Vos's artwork explores the interplay between 'nature' and 'culture.' She creates images with a seductive beauty that simultaneously provoke critical reflections on our perception of reality. Using oil paint on wooden panels, glass, or canvas, De Vos seals her works with a transparent layer of epoxy. This technique creates mirror-like surfaces where viewers' reflections become part of the elusive image, engaging them in the present moment.

De Vos's paintings are developed in series, akin to the tracks of a concept album. Each piece, like a song, stands alone yet contributes to a larger atmosphere and dialogue. Some works function as singles, while others set the tone or hint at future explorations. Her art invites viewers to question and interact with the space and the narratives within the series.
