Sara Sig: Journeyman

About

Sara’s practice focuses on the mystical experience and the search for wholeness, on the boundaries between outer and inner and the fluidity of being. She is interested in the crossover of natural sciences and spiritual practices and in the limits of human consciousness, selfhood and individualization. 

Sara’s paintings have a surreal, dreamlike quality and float between figuration and abstraction. She utilizes dream symbols, visions and fragmented memories in order to conjure a version of reality which resonates with her personal experience. Radiant light beams, tunnels and openings guide the viewer into a hidden realm that exists alongside our own. A timeless state, in contrast with the worldly chaos.

Her latest series explores notions of death and the afterlife.
