About the Item
Gazing at Lebanese American artist Sally K's floral portrait is consuming and empowering. Inspired by strong, feminine women, she creates pop-realistic paintings that speak to the energetic female experience; one of individuality and inherent strength in femininity. There are endless floral arrangements capping the mysterious visages of beautiful women, capturing attention through a celebration of floral abstraction and wild, fanciful coloration. Lavish in application and luxurious in composition, Sally K.'s work is inspired by pop art, culture, and fashion.
This original 8-inch high by 10-inch wide artwork is an acrylic painting on canvas board with diamond dust. This artwork is signed by the artist with a silver appliqué. Affordable U.S. and global shipping available. Provenance: Artspace Warehouse. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included.
Sally K was born in Ohio following her family’s emigration from Lebanon. Shortly after her birth, her family moved to Saudi Arabia, where she stayed until she was 14. Sally attended high school and college in Beirut, where she graduated with a BA in Fine Arts with distinction from the Lebanese American University of Beirut. In 2013, Sally and her family moved back to the United States and she now paints out of her studio in California.
The focus of Sally’s portraits is contemporary women. Her style merges characteristics of abstract expressionism with realism and portrait painting to convey not just the beauty of women, but their confidence and strength as well. They are alluring, flirtatious, and demure with an inspiring femininity that Sally describes as the “sensuality, independence, and confidence you see in strong women.”
Sally’s portraits of women are intensely personal. “The women I paint are an extension of me, of what I feel, how I process my surroundings, my thoughts, my anger, my pleasure. They’re the confident strong women that I strive to be. Sometimes tough and daring, sometimes shy and reserved, but always self-assured and determined; they represent what captivates me in other women; the qualities I admire, and strengths that I strive to gain.”
Sally draws inspiration from photography, pop culture and fashion as well as artists ranging from the pop art of Willem de Kooning and Jackson Pollock to the gilded florals and figures of Gustav Klimt. Her highly regarded paintings have been featured in group and solo shows in Beirut, Dubai, Italy, and the USA. Notable collectors include Jesse McCartney and Kelly Clarkson.

- Love From AfarLocated in Ibadan, Oyo"Love From Afar" presents a young lady, portrayed with intricate attention to detail, as she gazes into the distance. The artist's skillful brushwork brings life to the subject's features, capturing the complexity of emotions within her eyes and facial expression. The composition is deliberately crafted to draw the viewer's attention to the lady's contemplative gaze, which hints at a deep longing or unfulfilled desire. The use of subdued and muted tones in the artwork adds to its emotional resonance. The soft color palette creates an atmosphere of melancholy and introspection, evoking a sense of yearning and wistfulness. The deliberate choice of lighting and shadows adds depth and mystery, emphasizing the emotional journey portrayed in the artwork. "Love From Afar" encapsulates the universal experience of longing and unrequited love. The young lady's distant gaze symbolizes the ache of yearning for someone who is physically or emotionally out of reach. Her expression is filled with a mix of hope, vulnerability, and resignation. The artwork becomes a mirror, reflecting the viewer's own experiences of longing and the bittersweet beauty that accompanies it. Oladapo's artwork speaks to the human condition, reminding us of the complexities of love and desire. It encapsulates the emotions that arise when we are captivated by someone but cannot bridge the gap between us. Through the portrayal of the young lady's distant gaze, the artist invites viewers to contemplate their own experiences of unrequited love and the profound emotions that come with it. "Love From Afar" has the power to resonate with viewers on a deeply personal level. It serves as a reminder that longing and unrequited love are universal experiences, transcending culture, time, and boundaries. The artwork elicits empathy and introspection, prompting viewers to reflect on their own emotional journeys and the connections they have forged from afar. Moreover, "Love From Afar" highlights the delicate beauty that exists within longing. It reminds us that even in the absence of physical or emotional closeness, there is a certain allure and tenderness that emerges from the unfulfilled desires of the heart. The artwork invites us to appreciate the complexities of human emotions and find solace in the shared experiences of longing and love. Agboola Oladapo...Category
