In both, the visual language and the materials used, the artist is drawn to the beauty of simplicity. In this case, the work is executed using only layers of black and white tonal scale. Content is translated into geometric shapes, lines and rhythms that reflect harmony within the spatial experience. An important part is the slow and repetitive process of creation symbolising continuous growth and movement whilst providing a practice for persistence.
Sandra Sirp (b 1988) has graduated Art Education (BA) at Tallinn University (2012), Media Graphics (BA) at the Estonian Academy of Arts (2017) and studied painting in University of Porto Department of Fine Arts (2015/2016). She is currently studying Art Education (MA) at the Estonian Academy of Arts and Tallinn University. As an artist, she expresses herself through a minimalistic geometrical visual language, through emptiness and space, focusing on the inner world – personal yet universal pursuits, discoveries, contemplations and reflections, where the creative process is an important part of the work. “Practice for Persistence” is her seventh personal exhibition.
