About the Item

Part of Sax Berlin's Silver Series; a portrait of a beautiful woman, she looks gentle and wise. Oil on canvas with pure gold and silver leaf. Quote from Sax Berlin "Obscure visions are written within the face… mysteries are revealed when certain materials are allowed to express themselves…a language superior to the poverty of words...my premise is this…. the brush, the canvas and the materials all know what they are doing …all l can do is get in the way !" What we see is a rise to consciousness - Masterful. Sax Berlin (1953), arguably the finest exponent of 21st Century Classicism has devoted his life to absorbing the culture of art and architecture in Europe, Asia & North America. Thus becoming a genius of our time and the great secret of modern art. His contemporaries and collectors call him "The Master". When one reviews his oeuvre 8 distinct & separate styles emerge, displaying Berlin’s mastery of his subject; only Picasso has shown this level of genius. Quote from Sax; "I don't mind being likened to Picasso. It's a great honour to be compared to the greatest painter that ever lived and don't think I'm finished yet….this is just the beginning". Berlin is a unique artist, using techniques mastered during his studies; ranging from antiquity through the medieval and Renaissance to the present; he creates the visual outcomes he wants and that delight collectors. The pieces Berlin has created in his New York, Greek and Cornish studios are of museum quality and are rarely seen in Art Sales offering a combination of beautiful artworks and investment opportunities. Harvard University refer to him as a Master Artist and use his Buddhist Icon works as exemplars of the form in their Religious Studies degree courses. The President of the Asia Society on Park Avenue, NYC wrote to Berlin that "your work is beautiful" and Bernard Faure, Professor of Asia Studies at Columbia University wrote "your icons really do have a life of their own". Sax Berlin is a modern Master Painter in the truest sense of the term and follows in the footsteps of the Great Masters of the past.
