Canadian artist Sára Molčan captures the essence of modern ‘20s dating, love, and heartache in her large-scale conceptual realism paintings. Unequivocally millennial, Molčan’s work explores the careful curation of personas in the digital age, the imperfections of human existence, and the ambivalence towards romantic partners that arises in a world dominated by technology. Molčan’s art is deeply influenced by digital culture, memes, reality television, and the sociopolitical history of interracial relationships. By weaving in the complexities of interracial dating, her work engages with themes of race, identity, and love, exploring the unique challenges and beauty that come with cross-cultural romance. Her paintings navigate the tensions between societal structures and personal connection, occupying a space between reality and fiction. Her work has been featured in prominent outlets such as SAD Mag, Vancouver is Awesome, the BBC, The Today Show, Huffington Post, New York Magazine, and The Peak. Molčan’s paintings, which often combine analog methods with AR digital manipulations, have been exhibited in solo and group shows throughout Canada. Molčan holds a BA from Vancouver Island University and a BFA from Emily Carr University of Art + Design. She currently lives and works in Vancouver.
