Growing up in Vienna, Austria, Pashyo Sarkin spent many evenings doodling, designing and painting instead of watching television. In 1994 she co-founded LarkGallery with Lark Pilinsky and together they staged numerous group exhibitions in the greater Los Angeles area. In 2016/17 she ran a pop-up gallery in the SouthBay, where she also curated some exhibitions for LarkGallery. To this days she is involved with many of LarkGallery’s exhibitions.

Being a meditator since 1984 and facilitator for Osho Active Meditations her art emerges from her spontaneous interaction with the energy of the present moment. Pashyo loves to play with shades of colors giving expression to her moods, feelings and longings, creating dreamlike visions or interacting with natural phenomena.

"I always felt this longing to express my emotions, insights, questions and moods. I’m using any medium I can get my hands on: words, sounds, rhythms, voice, dance, pencils or paints. I am rarely satisfied with the result, but I greatly enjoy this process of pouring myself into form, making visible this longing for transformation and dissolution, of rising from the depth of my emotions to the limitless sky, to the stars and beyond."
