Olive Ripples

Olive Ripples is an original heavily textured abstract painting inspired by the quiet beauty of organic landscapes and the imperfect elegance of wabi-sabi design. Layers of olive, sage, warm beige and subtle brown blend together to create a calming, earthy palette that brings warmth and softness to a space.

Created entirely with a palette knife, the surface is rich with organic ripples, cracks and tactile textures that catch the light beautifully, revealing new details throughout the day. The imperfect, sculptural finish celebrates natural movement and the beauty found in weathered surfaces.

Its neutral tones make Olive Ripples a versatile statement piece, equally at home in contemporary, Japandi, minimalist or modern organic interiors.

Sarah Farinski is a Melbourne-based abstract artist who has been creating and selling art for the past six years. She creates textured abstract artworks using a variety of mediums, including modelling paste, plaster and sand. Her work is largely inspired by the natural world, drawing on seascapes, expansive skies, earthy tones and organic textures. She is particularly drawn to neutral and muted colour palettes and enjoys creating harmonious combinations of colour and texture that bring depth and visual interest to an interior while still allowing the space to feel calm and balanced.

Although her work often reflects a few recognisable styles, Sarah enjoys experimenting and stepping outside her usual approach from time to time. While neutrals remain a constant influence, she occasionally introduces bolder or more colourful palettes simply to keep the creative process fresh and explore something different.

Each artwork is created with an appreciation for texture, organic movement and considered colour. Whether subtle and tonal or more expressive and colourful, Sarah's work is designed to complement a range of interiors while bringing warmth, depth and a sense of individuality to a space.
