Saren Dobkins "Reclaiming Lost Love"

During her painting career which spans over 30 years, Saren has been committed to exploring an oeuvre that explores human dilemmas, interactions and desires. She has traveled extensively all her life, having lived in Zambia, Scotland, Israel and Australia which has given her an open, curious and empathetic perspective that is reflected in her work.

Reclaiming Lost Love Oil on canvas, 91 x 91cm Reclaiming Lost Love is homage to all the love that is given away from a place of trust, affection and desire. With wisdom comes forgiveness, for all the times that love was discarded, our heart's broken. The metaphor of the 'baggage' that keeps us from moving forward is released and all the 'energy' is returned to the bucket, which represents the container of all that is good about our best intentions to be connected to others. We can now move forward, unencumbered.
