Ora Sorensen
Ora Sorensen, "Protea I", Photorealistic Flower Painting on Canvas

2019

About the Item

This hyperrealist floral "Protea I" by artist Ora Sorensen is a 40x30 original oil painting on canvas. Depicted is a stalk and bloom of the South African flowering pink Protea plant, also known as sugarbushes, set against a black background. Sorensen describes her work as “exaggerated realism”, where the colors, scale, contrast and lighting are pushed just beyond reality. Her popular still lifes evoke the beauty of nature, and then heighten it with vibrant colors, brilliant light and dancing shadows. Their sensuality draws you in, making the viewer want to breathe in the sweet aroma of the luminous flowers or bite into a luscious pear. Ora’s laborious method of oil painting uses many layers of thin transparent oil paint to give a deep jewel like glow to the surfaces of the painting’s subject matter. About the artist: Sorensen was born in New York but grew up overseas in such countries as Libya, Turkey, Iran, Holland and Thailand. Throughout her travels, Ora spent a lot of time drawing and painting as a child, taking workshops from artists all over the world. Ora owned an art gallery in Delray Beach, Florida for twenty years, and her paintings have been shown in many exhibitions over the past decades. Sorensen currently lives and paints in North Carolina. Ora’s latest projects include a commission for the Cleveland Clinic in Naples, Florida as well as five commissioned paintings for the lobby of the new Intercontinental Hotel in Cleveland, Ohio. Ora has been a contributing columnist to THE PROFESSIONAL ARTIST MAGAZINE and THE ARTIST’S MAGAZINE.
