Sarah Sidenius

Sarah Sidenius is a contemporary abstract painter based in Dunbar and Edinburgh. Her work seeks to create harmony and beauty out of chaos and distortion through bold colour, layered texture, and intuitive mark-making.
Inspired by unexpected hues in nature, the bright colours and light that breaks through both pavement and emotion, and the invisible forces that shape us, her paintings are a vibrant response to the mess and magic of being alive.

Rather than offering quiet reflection, her work bursts with layered intensity and colour, capturing moments of vitality and unexpected joy.

Often working across multiple canvases at once, Sidenius allows energy, contrast, and movement to lead the process. She hopes her paintings give form to the unseen and create a space where beauty arises from fragmentation and colour carries the language of the unspoken.
