Executed in oil on linen, Stella Guida by Sara Buckner depicts a feminine figure seated on a stone fall in front of a calm sea below a starless night sky.
Her facial expression remains deliberately ambiguous, suspended between shyness, ennui, and blankness, while an orange starfish adorns the figure’s head. Beside her right hand appears a small, apparition-like figure astride a horse. The work sustains a mysterious, dreamlike, and subtly surreal atmosphere, resisting any singular or reductive interpretation.
Sarah Buckner is a storyteller. Her image world is inspired by multiple sources: real-life encounters, the dreams that sprang from them, books, and films. Thinking in paint, and through painting, Buckner has developed an intuitive and fluid approach that transforms these impressions through her material practice.
