About the Item
This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online.
Infused with warmth and vibrancy, Zest for Life is an oil on board painting that pays tribute to the sunlit brilliance of fresh lemons. Their golden, dimpled skin catches the light with exquisite realism, evoking the feel of their textured surface against the fingertips. Set against a deep, muted background, the radiant yellows sing with a rich intensity, making this a piece that truly enlivens the senses.
Sarah Eden’s contemporary realism brings a tactile quality to the composition—each ridge, each subtle imperfection in the lemons’ skin tells a story of ripeness and abundance. The composition is effortlessly balanced, with the addition of fresh green leaves lending a touch of organic elegance. The contrast between the crisp foreground details and the moody depth of the background creates a sophisticated, timeless aesthetic.
Whether placed in a kitchen, a dining space, or an art collection, Zest for Life offers a daily dose of brightness and vitality. Signed and ready to display, this piece 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.

“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
