TNYO: Sara It has been a pleasure over the years knowing you and tripping the light fantastic through the NY Art world.
Your art is fantastic and filled with light and color, Can you tell us what inspires you and how you go about creating your art?
Sara: I draw my inspiration from nature and aquatic free flowing energies.
I like to create artwork that is healing and grows with you.
I use a lot of crushed crystals and raw mica flakes to help manipulate the organic effect of constant flow,reflection ,movement and energy from the reflecting light on each piece.
TNYO: Can you tell us a little about your modeling career?
Sara Conca: I downplay a lot that I was a successful model in NY.
It worked against me in what I wanted to be. Or so I thought. Yet I kept persisting in my creative Endeavors and feel safe enough to agree yes I have had two amazingly successful careers in my lifetime as of yet. Modeling has surely helped me understand the need of showcasing with elegance and class.
I really can’t be more grateful to Ralph Lauren for the countless years by being his fit model. It has schooled me on creating timeless pieces that withstand most fashion decor trends. It also has educated me on the uses of color in feeling.

Sara Conca is a world renowned, American, contemporary abstract artist of French-Italian descent.
Her work has been acquired by many collectors in Europe and the United States. Sara’s paintings can be found in private chateaus, hotel lobbies in France, hospitals and airports in Northern Florida. Her artwork is in many, exclusive, celebrity homes and museums.
By the age of 17, Sara was living and working in Paris. A life changing experience that reinforced her need for movement, energy, and art. While in Paris, Sara studied sculpture at Ateliers D’Art De St Maur Des Fosses, and further continued her education in South Florida as an assistant of the critically lauded artist Purvis Young.
Sara spent her last 18 years traveling extensively and living in Manhattan, solely supported via her painting sales. The influence of New York City gave her an insightful appreciation for her ever- changing environments and settings, as well as heavily influencing her painting style.
Sara recently returned to her Florida roots, which has inspired her to create a fresh, new, mystical aquatic series involving natural mixed media such as raw silver dust and 18k gold leafing, raw color pigments, mica flakes, and natural crystals.
“My work is intended to instantaneously immerse the viewer into the visual and emotional energies that I have devoted to each piece. Depending on one’s ability and willingness to be guided by the senses, these paintings can lead one away from the mind and into an alternate and self-made reality filled with color and freedom. My new series features blues. I love working with this color because it changes in the light by manipulating the textures and layering with silver dust or gold; thus affording each piece continuous movement and energy from the reflecting and refracting light.”
