Sabrina
Romulus: Fancy Art
Newly discovered
artist on pursuing her dream
Petulah Olibert
If
one were to inquire the definition of art today,
it would surely be Sabrina Romulus.
Her work is unique, creative, and imaginative.
One glimpse, and you’re guaranteed to
fall captive.
The 19 year-old Sabrina describes her unique
black-on-color style as semi-realistic, and
although she also experiments with realism,
for now, she’s content with responses
generated by her emergent signature style.
“The black-on-color is much more personal
to me,” she explained. “It started
as a challenge, one that I was intent on mastering.”
And to think she happened upon it by chance!
As Sabrina tells it, her style was born out
of a shortage of supplies!
“I
came upon it really, by accident. I didn’t
have paint at the time so I began to experiment
with silhouettes, play around with the color
and detail. When I started it was a learning
process. Now, I blend in colors on the canvas,
and work on my figures and shapes.”
So remarkable is her work, that it’s hard
to believe she was once raw around the edges.
“To be honest, if you compare my art when
I started in 2007, to now, it was totally different
back then. Before, my work was a little out
of proportion. It’s better now. But I’m
still learning, and thankfully, I now have the
artists at the Inner Gallery to draw inspiration
from.”
Sabrina Romulus’ work can be viewed in
all its splendor at Rachel Duboulay’s
Inner Gallery, which boasts a newly redone and
more spacious showroom at Bois D’Orange,
opposite the S&S warehouse.
It was the first chance she got to showcase
her talent.
