Sarah Kotzamani
Berkeley, CA
The sculptor is deeply passionate about creating art, whether it be through sculpting or working on 2D pieces. They enjoy the process of building and refining, often working in layers of various mediums such as colored pencils, wax crayons, pastels, paints, and ink. Their intuitive approach to art leads them to work in series, exploring a theme until they feel satisfied with the outcome.
There is a spiritual connection that the artist feels when they are creating, allowing their hands and materials to guide them in their artistic journey. With a background in sculpture and a love for drawing and painting, the artist's work is a reflection of their unique perspective on the human experience. Their parents' influence – a Greek sculptor mother and a poet father from Muskogee – can be seen in the artist's work, which often focuses on the physical and spiritual aspects of life.
Having earned degrees from California College of Arts and Crafts and San Jose State, the artist's work is a blend of ceramic and metal sculpture, drawing, and painting. While their work is rarely completely abstract, they have a deep appreciation for the human form and the spiritual connection to our physical reality. The artist's exploration of the soul's experience in the body is evident in pieces such as the Pilates Mat Series Drawing Project, signed as "Sarka Zi," meaning Flesh Lives in Greek.
For those looking to add a touch of soulful art to their home or office decor, prints of the artist's work are available for purchase. Bring a piece of spiritual and physical exploration into your space with these unique and thought-provoking pieces.
