Ola Sarri (b.1980) is a largely self-trained portrait artist, who generally works to commission for private collections and organisations. His work has also been seen in group, juried and solo exhibitions Sweden.
The portrait is of the artist’s partner, Hanna, whom he has painted several times in the course of their relationship. He says: ‘I wanted to convey self-confidence and mindfulness. I aimed for a simple and clear statement, so with minimal instructions, I let Hanna fall into a comfortable yet firm pose... a moment of peace and quiet, nothing more, nothing less.’
