Reality without any doubt is the central theme of the work of the painter Sara Wilson. With its various shades of meaning, it is a word which is difficult to translate into Italian but the epithet splendidly underlines the perceptive relationship which the artist has established with her other self.

Sara Wilson's expressive style reflects the archetype of human aspiration as seen in many of the inimitable works of the past and which, especially in Northern Europe, has rendered the taste for narrative result firmly subordinate to direct observation. The pictorial transference of reality reflects (in accordance with her geographical and historical heritage - and there is no doubt about the Englishness of Sara Wilson) the level of objectivity which the artist assigns to her own revelations: in this case we see in the works of the artist the necessity for a precise signal, for that expressive honesty recommended - not only presaged - by W. Morris.

In this ideological context the confines between denoter and connoter tend to become hazy to the extent that the symbolic (the fundamental characteristic of the work of art) may appear overwhelmed by a demandingly objective representation. The artist in general, and in this case Sara Wilson, although fully aware that objective pictorial result is practically impossible. Nonetheless, in Goethe - esque fashion, invites the viewer to put his trust in his Individual powers of discrimination which, however they may differ from person to person, distinguish what is true from what is artificial or counterfeit.
