Gazing at Sarah Arnett's art is like stepping into a daydream. Every piece of flamboyant art she creates is infused with a sense of narrative, inspired by everything from film and poetry, to her years spent travelling the world. 

Transforming Maria is based on a character from the pioneering 1927 sci-fi movie, Metropolis. In the film, there are two Maria's: one virtuous, the other a robot replica used by the bad guys.

Arnett explains: "My piece combines both the good and bad versions of Maria. My interpretation is a combination of female beauty and strength for a modern time, where women don't want to be just one thing or another.'  

This piece is from a limited edition of five, finished with gold leaf and diamond dust.
