For Ariya Watty, art is more than just a decorative element in her home: it tells the story of her life. “For me, art is like a record of all my personal history. All the places I’ve been to, all the people I’ve met,” she says. In fact, much of the art that Ariya has purchased from Saatchi Art is inspired by her travels around the globe—from South America to Asia. As she describes it, “The approach is, ‘What work is going to create that feeling in me that I had when in that place?’” Channeling these memories through artwork has had a “grounding effect” on the executive assistant, who is constantly on-the-go. “When I look at something that I’ve purchased, it brings me back to that place and that time…which I really like.”
