Artist/ Painter

Ria is inspired by the energy of stillness and yet vitality of life within that moment. The process is about capturing and evoking some emotion or energy. Through photography, painting and small sculptures, there is drama to Ria work that attempts to transcend.

Sarah Ria, Graduated from Wimbledon school of art in film design and is an Art Director in TV and Film. Ria spends time imagining spaces for scripts, with budgets and production constrains. The painting frees her  to capture the essence of the scripts.

​

"I look for the Raw and the Wild in people and places. There is often a magic felt when this happens and if you can capture it and re-capture it in painting then it feels like it honours and integrity of life".

Sometimes film and tv have narratives that capture our imaginations but painting means the viewer to loose themselves in their own stories and views.  It can transcend religious beliefs and speak to in many languages.
