Taking Black Out of the Scale: A Journey of Healing Through Art
Overcoming Darkness with Color: An Artistic Path to Personal Growth and Recovery
The artwork series “Taking Black Out of the Scale” represents Sarit Rotman’s deep and personal artistic journey. It expresses her process of recovery from eating disorders, which she struggled with for over 16 years since adolescence.
Struggle and Artistic Expression
A turning point came when her art teacher challenged her to remove black from her color palette. This led Sarit to develop a new painting style—optimistic, colorful, and joyful. This healing art came from her subconscious. It fostered personal growth, bringing self-confidence, self-acceptance, love, partnership, children, and mental and physical well-being.
Themes and Influences
The collection of paintings, from 2003 to 2011, is rich in symbols and vibrant colors. They depict an optimistic and surreal world. The works are influenced by modernist styles, advertising, illustration, naïve art, and pop art. Through her subconscious, Sarit explored themes such as dreams, feminism, fertility, motherhood, relationships, self-confidence, obsessions, and the environment.
I believe in the power of art to bring goodness, light and love into the world. I invite you to explore my paintings, which have profoundly transformed my life.
