Sally K

Alluring, flirtatious, vibrant, and demure the beautiful women of Sally K’s paintings emerge through crowns of fauna and playful brushstrokes. Her original figurative and textural artworks merge characteristics of abstract expressionism with realism and portrait painting to convey the complexity, as she describes, of the “sensuality, independence, and confidence you see in strong women.” Sally K attended college in Beirut, where she graduated with a BA in Fine Arts with distinction from the Lebanese American University of Beirut.

Sally K paints women's portraits as an extension of her surroundings, her thoughts, her anger, and her pleasures. She strives to have the qualities, determination, self-assurance, and strengths of the women in her work. Sally K draws inspiration from photography, pop culture, and fashion as well as artists ranging from Willem de Kooning and Jackson Pollock to Gustav Klimt. Her highly regarded paintings have been collected by notable celebrities such as Jesse McCartney and Kelly Clarkson and have been featured in numerous group and solo shows worldwide, including Hong Kong, Beirut, Dubai, Italy, Switzerland and the USA.
