Gina Sarro

“In my studio, I constantly challenge myself through experimentation to find new ways to capture the vast, serene landscape, aiming for simplicity and tranquility with an unexpected element of wonder. My goal is to present an abstracted sanctuary: a place where we can find solace and stillness amidst the complexities of life.

Painting landscapes allows me to recollect memories of time spent in nature, which I then reinterpret and rearrange to create imagined places that reflect a blend of influences and personal experiences. As I paint, I also explore the connection between my internal landscape and our shared human spirit, seeking to document our collective life experiences.

Ultimately, I hope that my paintings encourage viewers to pause and reflect—on the world around them and their inner selves—inviting them to join me on a journey of deeper perception and understanding.”

Biography

Gina Sarro

Immerse yourself in the vast landscapes of artist Gina Sarro where Gina captures a distant vista with her distinct technique, painting expansive skies, tranquil waters, towering mountains, and rolling fields evoking a sense of both flatness and depth.

Using a combination of brush and knife techniques, Gina Sarro skillfully balances strong horizontal compositions with rhythmic vertical gestures. Her abstracted use of colour creates a serene and reflective atmosphere, occasionally punctuated by bold, defined lines that cut through the landscape, inviting viewers to pause and contemplate the deeper meaning within her artwork.

Rooted in her upbringing in Saskatchewan and her time spent in the Alberta foothills while pursuing an Economics degree at the University of Calgary and studying painting at the Alberta College of Art and Design, Gina’s work is deeply influenced by her surroundings.

After attending the Emily Carr University of Art and Design in Vancouver, Gina now calls this vibrant city home. Her paintings can be found in private and corporate collections across Canada, the US, Europe and Australia, with a notable 13-foot triptych adorning the Jim Pattison corridor at Vancouver General Hospital.
