Mixed media on canvas

by Sara Kissing

This painting honors Jean-Michel Basquiat’s raw creative force. Crowns, skulls, fragmented text, and instinctive mark-making echo his ability to pour power, emotion, and rhythm onto the canvas. Linked to Neo-Expressionism, he broke rules while redefining contemporary art alongside Andy Warhol. Layered gold elements heighten the tension and contrast as the light shifts, mirroring work that never stays quiet or still.

About Sara Kissing

Sara Kissing, MFA is an internationally exhibiting pop artist known for richly layered mixed-media paintings infused with symbolism, storytelling, and real gold. Her niche is Pop Art, but each subject is deeply researched — incorporating historical facts, playful details, hidden references, and occasional quotes that reflect the character’s legacy and personality. Kissing intentionally weaves unexpected elements into her work, such as fun facts, humor, angel numbers, and subtle personal signatures — including her dog’s name, Baba, and symbolic references to food — to invite viewers to slow down, explore, and engage.

 

With a Master’s degree in Fine Arts and nearly two decades of experience as a brand manager and creative director in advertising and corporate environments, Kissing brings a strong narrative and visual strategy to her art practice. Her work has been exhibited at the New York Art Expo, Red Dot Miami during Art Basel Week (2024 & 2025), and at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco, where she exhibited alongside Banksy. Locally, she collaborates with Clive Daniel Home across Florida and Natuzz IItalia, creating exclusive collections such as Italian Legends and Music Legends, developed for high-end marketing, showroom installations, and collector audiences.
