Follow Your Heart is an original unique artwork created by Sahara in 2024. The artwork is hand-signed by the artist and comes with the authenticity certificate issued by the Katie Feygie Art Gallery. The artwork is set to be published in the Pop Vibes Only catalog coming in 2024/2025.

This artwork is a bold and stimulating fusion of classical and contemporary elements, presented on the unconventional medium of a skateboard deck. Dominating the lower portion of the piece, we witness a stunning and precise rendition of the renowned "Girl with a Pearl Earring" by Johannes Vermeer. Her serene and pensive gaze is captured with meticulous attention to detail, invoking the sense of timelessness and classical beauty that has made the original painting a masterpiece. In stark contrast to this classical imagery, the central and upper portions of the skateboard explode into a vibrant, chaotic symphony of modern street art and graffiti. Rich, textured layers of multicolored splashes, strokes, and swirls serve as the energetic backdrop, teeming with life and movement. Amidst this dynamic tableau, a silhouetted figure reminiscent of Banksy's iconic street art commands attention—adding an element of rebellious urban culture. Butterflies, depicted with vivid hues of purple and blue, flutter across the chaotic canvas, symbolizing transformation and freedom. A radiant, whimsical butterfly crowns the very top of the deck, hovering above peppy graffiti letters that boldly proclaim, "Follow Your Heart." This phrase, painted in a spontaneous, hand-drawn script, reinforces the piece's overall message of passion and self-expression. Together, these elements create a striking juxtaposition between the classical and the contemporary, serenity and chaos, tradition and rebellion. This artwork not only challenges the conventional constraints of artistic genres but also inspires viewers to embrace their individuality and pursue their inner desires, no matter how unconventional. This piece is assertive in its visual storytelling, masterfully merging disparate worlds into a coherent and compelling whole.

Sahara, Follow Your Heart

Sahara

Czech Republic  • 1988

Presentation

Sahara (1988) is a contemporary pop artist based in Prague (The Czech Republic) and France. Sahara is primarily known for her street art murals and mixed media works on canvas. Her murals are located in Prague (The Czech Republic), Paris (France), Krakow (Poland), Berlin (Germany), and many other cities around Europe.

A distinctive feature of her artworks is the transformation of famous works of the old masters and the use of classic symbols of pop art. Her paintings are exquisite, yet vibrant and individual, just like the contemporary art scene. There is a subtle thread of humour or social question hidden in every painting.

Thanks to her amazing style and interesting technique, we can call Sahara one of the most interesting and promising young contemporary artists in Europe. Despite the growing popularity of the artist, it is not known for certain who she is. She is very protective of her personality and her personal life.

Paintings created by Sahara are kept in the hands of private collectors in Europe (primarily Switzerland, France & Germany), the USA, and Asia. One of the latest exhibitions of her works was held in Europe (The Pop Vibes Only Exhibition Tour 2022).

Each of her paintings is unique and hand-signed by the author. Sahara works with different media, and thanks to the many layers of paint and other materials, her work can be said to be made in the street art technique. We include a Certificate of Authenticity with every Sahara painting.
