Sabo, Anke

Anke Sabo, a German Canadian artist, creates galaxy inspired resin artworks. Immersing herself in the studies of art for 20 years of her life, she participated in Open Studio classes at Emily Carr University in Vancouver and other local art studios. Before expressing herself in art, she was drawn to mathematics, astronomy and astrology. After studying Computer Science, she worked as a software engineer in Germany and now as a web designer in Canada. Living in the digital world of ‘0’ and ‘1’, true and false, power-on and power-off had a big impact on her. This extreme contrast also reflects in her artwork with dark backgrounds and bold contrasting colors. Directly responding to our surrounding universe, she uses every day celestial experiences as a starting point. Witnessing the total solar eclipse August 2017 inspired her new direction of deep space galaxies and astrology inspired artwork.
