Faded into the sunset

Artist Name: Sarah Usman

About Artist:

My name is Sarah Usman, and I am very passionate about my art. I love art because it’s a way to capture feelings and ideas that can’t always be expressed in words. It has a unique ability to evoke emotion, spark thought, and make you see things differently. Whether it’s the creative process or the message behind it, art always feels like a window into someone else’s world — and that’s truly fascinating to me.

Artist Statement:

My painting is inspired by the way sunsets make you pause and truly appreciate the moment. I wanted to turn that beautiful, fleeting phenomenon into something permanent something that captures the feeling of watching the day slip into night. There’s something so peaceful about it a quiet reminder that change is constant and that there’s beauty in every transition. I painted it because I wanted to hold onto that brief, perfect moment when everything feels still, yet full of promise. It’s my way of keeping a piece of that calm and wonder for myself.
