Sarah Avni

Sarah I. Avni is a Slovak artist, based in Prague. She is involved in artistic photography and interior design in addition to painting.

Career and education

Sarah Avni received her artistic education at Graphic Art School in Jihlava in the Czech Republic where she studied drawing and painting.[1] She traveled through Europe, where she collected inspiration that has since made its way into her artistic work. She returned to Slovakia in 2006 and began to concentrate on painting and photography.

Given her positive relationship to travel and the fact that foreign peoples and cultures are an important part of her life and art work, she emphasized these bonds by continuing her education at the University of Central Europe in Skalica (Slovakia) from which she graduated in 2009 with a degree in International relations and diplomacy.[2]

Artistic composition

Among other works she is also the author of a Slovak postage stamp to commemorate the World Cup in South Africa which was recognized with a 1st place award in the international STAMP magazine.[3][4] She was involved in the interior design process for the Holiday Inn hotel in Trnava and completed a series of paintings for the car company Kia.[1]
