Artworks: 11
I’m Jacob Sarra a Goreng Goreng artist, born and raised in Ipswich.
My love for art all started with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, hear me out… As a young kid I watched the show religiously and it left me wanting to know a couple things, firstly how do I become a ninja and secondly, who are these renaissance artists Master Splinter had named the turtles after? My parents wouldn’t allow me to become a ninja, but they did have a set of encyclopaedia books which I was able to research renaissance art and from then on I had a love of art.
I began to create my own art after watching my father paint. I have always been fascinated by the moon and all things astronomy related and it shows in most of my art. The overarching theme of my art is the journey taken, the different pathways throughout life and the connections made with people, the land the sky.
Sometimes I draw inspiration from something that has moulded my life in some way growing up, whether it be music, pop culture or history. Other times my art is a snapshot of the present moment and can be inspired by something as simple as a sunset, having coffee with my wife or enjoying ice cream with my daughters.
Everyone of my pieces stems from something in my life. I hope some of it can speak to you and leave an impression.
Peace and Love
