Sara De Pasquale
Visual Artist
Bio
Sara De Pasquale (born in 1947) is an interdisciplinary visual artist living in Zurich. She has acquired and developed her profound knowledge of the visual arts in a classical way. She lived and worked in London for several years. Her English and Italian roots have left their mark on her and this contrast remains exciting to this day. Her work reveals what we often do not see in depth and explores the concept of decontextualisation. The paintings she creates are ambiguous, violent and yet mindful. They visualise the wounds of nature breaking open, transience and the seed of new life. Daylight changes their colour and the structure moves and dissolves in turn. Her art is alive and never stands still. Everything dissolves in an eternal cycle, destroyed and recreated from an oxidising mixture of different metals. Her credo: “I decontextualise, then I recon-struct.” Always driven by curiosity and the joy of experimenting with symbolism, different mate-rials and styles, she finds the richness of textures in nature, and beyond that, capturing the light is key.
