Sarah Park is a contemporary Australian artist who specialises in realist paintings, capturing the essence of intricate details and little moments. Sarah’s origami series transports the viewer into a world of imagination and whimsy. Each artwork combines the tactile beauty of origami with her signature attention to colour and minor details, infusing playful narratives into everyday objects. This collection of origami works merges contemporary realism with a touch of fantasy, giving life to inanimate forms, and inviting viewers into a delicate yet whimsical universe.
In Parrot's Spring Symphony, an origami parrot perches delicately on a branch adorned with soft cherry blossoms. Set against a serene backdrop, the scene evokes a tranquil moment of spring, where the vibrant parrot and the delicate blossoms come alive in unison. This painting invites viewers to immerse themselves in the peaceful beauty of a fleeting yet timeless spring day.
