About Saskia Berkin
Biography
Portrait diploma student at Heatherleys School of Art, London.
I have been oil painting for 2 years now and I have fallen in love with this medium. I cannot think of a more mindful activity than painting. I can work for hours completely focused and not think about anything else in the world.
The whole creative process is extremely satisfying. It takes time, patience, making mistakes and problem solving to create a working composition or applying the paint in a certain way. The final piece shows the fruits of your labour for not just yourself but others to enjoy for time to come.
It always astounds me that a good piece of artwork can evoke so many feelings in a person, it can dazzle us, teach us, inspire us, strike an emotive feeling. I hope the work I produce will do this for others as so many artworks do for me.
