A Fresh Take On Tradition
Sarabeth Arima reinvents the tradition of portraiture for the modern collector. An expressive, maximalist style playfully captures her subject’s spirit in a setting rich with familial history and symbolism.
Her portraits consist of layered, and meticulously hand cut imagery that has been sourced, scanned and reprinted in an archival fashion preserving both paper and ink. Dressed up in oil stick, oil paint and other various materials— she yields a piece of art and family heirloom designed to be cherished by generations.
