Sarah Eden
Lime Light - original oil painting - contemporary still life realism artwork

2025

About the Item

This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online. Vivid, bold, and strikingly fresh, Lime Light is an oil on board painting that embodies the zesty vibrancy of nature’s simplest wonders. The sharp, citrus-green hues of the fruit contrast beautifully against a rich, near-black backdrop, creating an almost theatrical spotlight effect. The interplay of shadow and reflection captures the juicy luminosity of the freshly cut lime, making it feel almost tangible. Sarah Eden’s mastery of contemporary realism is evident in every detail—the textured skin of the whole limes, the glistening pulp of the sliced wedge, and the gentle curve of light as it dances across their surface. The precision with which she renders the interplay of light and form makes this still life both refreshing and elegant. There’s an undeniable energy to the piece, a quiet celebration of life’s simplest pleasures. Perfect for collectors of contemporary still life, Lime Light brings a dynamic and invigorating presence to any interior. Signed and ready to display, this striking painting is currently available for purchase at Signet Contemporary Art in Chelsea and online. Artist Biography: Sarah Eden has always had a deep passion for art, but her path to becoming a professional artist was unconventional. After earning a degree in languages, she pursued a career in sales and marketing, soon realizing that her true calling lay elsewhere. Art had been an integral part of her life since studying A-Level Art in school, and with the unwavering support of her family, she took a leap of faith into the art world over a decade ago—and has never looked back. Initially exploring figurative art, Sarah quickly established herself as a full-time animal portrait artist. In 2014, she officially registered as self-employed, dedicating herself entirely to painting. Her workweek is filled with enthusiasm and excitement, as she finds immense joy in bringing her subjects to life on canvas. As a realist painter, Sarah specializes in highly detailed oil paintings of wildlife, capturing everything from native British species to exotic animals. Based in Malmesbury, Wiltshire, she draws inspiration from the diverse wildlife in her surroundings. Her work is driven by a deep appreciation for the individuality and beauty of animals—particularly those that are often overlooked. Over the past ten years, her commissions have reached collectors worldwide, with recent works finding homes in Milan, New York, and Tasmania. While private commissions remain an important part of her practice, she now focuses on developing her own collections, highlighting unconventional subjects that deserve recognition. Recently, Sarah has expanded her artistic practice to include still-life painting, which she refers to as "fruit portraits." The rich colors and textures offer a refreshing contrast to the fur and feathers of her wildlife subjects. Constantly evolving as an artist, she embraces new challenges to refine her craft. Through her highly detailed, lifelike paintings, Sarah Eden celebrates the beauty and complexity of the natural world in all its forms. Explore the captivating realism collection by renowned artist Sarah Eden, available exclusively at Signet Contemporary Art. These exquisitely detailed works highlight Eden’s exceptional talent and dedication to portraying the world with remarkable precision and depth. Whether you're looking to enrich your personal art collection or introduce a striking piece into your home, you can discover the beauty of her paintings through our online gallery or visit us in person. “In my still life work, I aim to elevate the ordinary to the extraordinary, using the timeless language of fruit and other culinary objects to explore the relationship between light, shadow and form. My ‘fruit portraits’, as I like to refer to them, are rendered in a dramatic chiaroscuro style, to draw the viewer’s eye into the heart of the composition creating a sense of depth, volume and tactile presence. My use of chiaroscuro is not merely a technical device, but a means of imbuing my subjects with a sense of mystery and allure. By carefully balancing light and shadow, I strive to create a sense of drama and emotional resonance, inviting the viewer to contemplate the beauty of the everyday and to appreciate the simple pleasures of life. By combining technical skill with a deep sense of wonder and curiosity, I strive to create still life paintings that are both beautiful and thought-provoking, inspiring the viewer to see the mundane, in a new and unexpected way.”- Sarah Eden
