Artworks by Sara Kern Gaćeša

The urge to create has been present in me for as long as I can remember — an instinct that grew stronger as I became more aware of the world around me. I draw motivation from many external stimuli — people, places, emotions — but above all, it is the natural world that continues to inspire me most deeply.

I have always admired all forms of art, from the earliest historical expressions to contemporary practices. It’s difficult to pinpoint one specific influence, as I find inspiration in many movements and artists. Some of the visual artists whose work resonates with me most include Georgia O’Keeffe, Van Gogh, Toulouse-Lautrec, Chris Ofili, Gauguin, Lois Dodd, Félix Vallotton, Franz Marc, and Boris Bućan.

In my painting process, I combine high-quality materials with intuition, observation, and imagination — often working from photographs, collages, and sketches. Each piece is an exploration of colour, form, and atmosphere, grounded in personal experience.
