Sara DiOrazio
A New York based abstract artist, inspired by minimalism, surrealism, abstractions, fashion, street art, architecture, travel, nature, and the beauty behind imperfections. Sara DiOrazio gives you a look into her perfectly imperfect world. A world derived from overcoming life’s challenges, and the parallels in love, loss, and grief.
"It is through art and observing life that I feel most alive. An eye for aesthetics, ears for beats and lyrics, a mind for expansion, heart and soul for living life to the fullest." - Sara DiOrazio
Sara pulls inspiration from her personal and professional life and describes her life in NYC as a combo of "Grit and Glamour”.
Her work is inspired by the likes of Mark Rothko, Cy Twombly, Salvador Dali, and Egon Schiele, while infusing the essence of nature, street art, fashion, the law of attraction, and life’s energy.
Sara graduated from Syracuse University with a BFA in Studio Arts & Advertising Design. Without looking back, Sara packed up everything she owned and moved to Brooklyn on a whim, later moving to the Upper East Side of Manhattan. In transit, she hit rewind in her memory and recalled experimenting with watercolors at the age of six on the kitchen floor, dreaming of a life in NYC. Little did she realize, a fabulous journey was about to begin!
Studying dance and competing as a Division 1 Collegiate Athlete, adjusting quickly to change was natural for Sara, but New York City was a whole new way of living. From underground fashion shows, to gritty open mic nights, after hours DJ sets behind hidden doors of the LES... to meeting her mentor, Rachel Crespin, former Fashion Editor & Fashion Director of Vogue and Harper's Bazaar, who worked closely with Diana Vreeland. Working with other talented and interesting creatives became a priority as Sara developed her own creative point of view.
