This blog is about my artwork and me, Sabine Pata

This blog is about my artwork and me, an ever-searching soul for a more simplified, calm and decluttered, minimalist life in peace and silence.

I was born Vienna, lived in Far East Asia for a while and then found my home in Lower Austria, where I combine my studio with the attached house, I live in. In fact, the place is more you can ever dream of. Every day I wake up, I burn for my cause, I love what I do and where I am. Interior design is something I am so much in love with.

Painting and taking photos were always in my life.

2016 I started as a professional photographer, but all along I still run my own company in further education. So, in fact, I am an entrepreneur by day and an artist by night. There´s no TV-set in my house and I´ve never come across Netflix. I simply have much too many ideas and projects in my head. Eat - work - paint – shoot – sleep ist my daily rhythm.

When you experience disappointments in life, you develop coping techniques. Mine were engaging in photography and making art. The scars I carry with me, made possible that I see things, others don´t see: Light, color, shadows, moods, emotions, unnecessary conflicts and hectic, cluttered lives, tensions.

Through making art, I can process all those impressions in a healthy way. When I am in a flow, it feels like no one can stop me until I am finished.

Art is the highest form of hope. I make art to forget. I make art to hope. I make art to let my feelings out. May that be photography or painting, it´s a cure.

I am convinced that being reasonably poor, that is having a peaceful little home, not being hungry and having warm-hearted friends, is more than enough for all of us. As long as there is art in it.

I have no other wish than to being close to nature. There is always something spiritual walking by the ocean or in the forest. In my mind, you always have to believe. You get up, make your bed, get out to nature and you know, life is good. I don´t take pictures, they take me.
