Inner Spaces I (2021) Painting by Erzsebet Nagy Saar

Erzsebet Nagy Saar is a contemporary Austrian artist whose creative philosophy centers on giving space to inner feelings, shaping the formless, and transferring these personal truths onto the canvas. Born in Hungary in 1974, she now lives and works in Vienna.

For Saar, colors are rarely symbolic or metaphorical. Instead, they serve as a medium through which she expresses her sensual experiences. Her art is characterized by sweeping, powerful brushstrokes and structures created gesturally with various tools, which dynamically push into or out of the picture from the left or right. Eschewing stringent planning, Saar often employs numerous layers of color to create relief-like surfaces, intuitively developing a powerful formal language.

Whether working on large canvases extending up to ten meters or small works on paper, Saar invites viewers to partake in her thoughts, feelings, and unconscious actions, which emerge through her painting. She offers a glimpse into her innermost being, presenting her inner landscapes and emotions for exploration from individual perspectives.

Her work is part of the Museum Angerlehner Collection as of 2023, marking a significant recognition of her contribution to contemporary art. Saar's art invites audiences to delve into the limitless world of experience she vividly portrays.
