Sirarpi says:

“My abstract work springs both from meditations on nature and from childhood memories that are distilled into single dramatic moments. The energetic surfaces imply an ongoing tension between freedom and containment, edging the viewer closer to that place where chaos can erupt into clarity.

Using oils and acrylics, inks and pastels, I draw, scrawl, scrape and paint on canvas and wood surfaces that are rich in layers of handmade and recycled papers, fabric, wood and other found materials. The layers of my collages ooze with life as I fix a moment of time”
