About the Item

Artist Comments
A woman sits, her hand cupping her face. Artist Sharon Sieban notes that sometimes people are not ready to answer the call, but coffee helps. Gestural strokes convey the contemplative mood of the figure.


About the Artist
Artist Sharon Sieben creates emotive paintings that emphasize feelings and impressions over the strict representation of details. “I have always felt that creating a realistic piece of art deprives the viewer of experiencing the mood the artist has created,” says Sharon. She finds delight in portraying lively urban scenes and the subtle gestures of people through her loose and expressive style. She begins her artistic process with charcoal sketches, followed by layers of paint to achieve textures. For her figurative works, she lets her memory bank of faces guide her paintbrush, capturing the essence of each subject. In her small yet cozy studio, Sharon works alongside her parakeet, Oscar, who frequently sits on her shoulder while they both listen to quartet music. In her free time, Sharon finds joy in reading, playing classical guitar, and sharing moments with her pet bird.

Respite, Original Painting
By Sharon Sieben
Located in San Francisco, CA

Artist Comments
A face surfaces within the abstract expression of artist Sharon Sieben's striking contemporary portrait. Cold wax mixed with oil constitutes a compelling image of her model in a meditative state. Sharon reminds us that sometimes, especially after a busy day, a quiet moment is most welcomed. "The subject in this portrait would agree," says Sharon.
