Sax Berlin Portrait Paintings
British, b. 1953
We are privileged to sell works on behalf of Sax Berlin. Sax, 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. He is undoubtedly a genius of our times and one of the great secrets of modern art.
When one reviews his oeuvre, 10 distinct & separate styles emerge, displaying Berlin’s mastery of his subject. In fact only Picasso has achieved this height of genius. His students and collectors call him “The Master”.
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 paintings 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 opportunity.
Harvard University refer to him as a Master Artist. 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.(Biography provided by White Court Art)

By Sax Berlin
Located in Brecon, Powys
A masterwork from a master artist,White Gold Lilies for the Dove of Peace is an immaculate piece, pure colours balanced with earthy hues imbue the work with shades of sumptuous richness seldom found outside the great collections. Nuance and symbolism combine within the elements of this painting to create an artistic journey through antiquity; Japanese wood block design, the language of flowers, even the colours themselves combine so masterfully to complete the piece.
In this large ground breaking painting Berlin has used bright vermillion & turquoise powered tones, volcanic glass and rock garnered from the slopes of Mount Vesuvius create texture and the use of the finest hand ground pigments and pure white gold leaf escalate this seminal piece to a higher plane.
This magnificent painting offers the pinnacle of modern fine art...

Out of Sight 1
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
"Out of Sight" by Chinedu Chidebe: An Artistic Exploration of the Human Condition
Chinedu Chidebe's artwork "Out of Sight" is a powerful expression of the human condition. The artwork is a mixed media piece that incorporates acrylic paint and oil on canvas. At first glance, the artwork appears to be a chaotic mess of lines and colors. However, upon closer inspection, the piece reveals a deep and thoughtful exploration of the hidden aspects of the human experience.
The painting is dominated by a large central figure, which appears to be a representation of the human form. The figure is twisted with its long neck and round ears of lines and colors. The figure's face contorted in agony.
Chidebe's artwork is a poignant exploration of the hidden aspects of the human experience. The twisted and contorted central figure suggests the pain and suffering that many people experience in their lives. The surrounding calm suggests the confusion and disorientation that can often accompany difficult experiences. The patch of blue...

"Saffron Buddha", contemporary buddha painting, oil on canvas
By Sax Berlin
Located in Brecon, Powys
The Saffron Buddha was created using the proportions of Tibetan sacred geometry. It reflects Sax Berlin's studies in icon painting from his beginning in Kathmandu in the early 1970's and 20 years of experience in their portrayal. It is possible to look into this image and see reflections of the images found in the Ajanta caves in India. Berlin is faithful to the iconography but gives this work his unique inspiration. Comments from leading exponents of the genre eloquently express the impact of the work; the President of the Asia Society wrote that his "work is beautiful" and Prof. Bernard Faure of the Asia Studies Department at Columbia University wrote that his "icons really do have a life of their own".
