Hey! I am Sara Vieira Vasques (b.1988, Switzerland), a Portuguese artist currently based in France, and my work is a testament to the power of art to resist the forces of time and oblivion.

My creative practice encompasses a range of mediums, including drawing, painting, engraving, and ceramics. Through these mediums, I explore the intricate relationship between memory and artistic expression, weaving together symbols and forms that speak to the rich tradition of visual narratives and the rituals that drive them.

For me, art is a deeply personal journey that seeks to connect with a wider audience. Through my work, I strive to evoke a sense of wonder and awe that is both emotional and intellectual. I believe that my art has the power to restore memories and preserve the stories that make us who we are.

As an artist, I am committed to exploring the boundaries of what is possible with each medium I work with. My pieces are vibrant, intricate, and filled with detail, inviting the viewer on a journey of discovery and contemplation. Whether I am drawing, painting, engraving, or working with ceramics, I am constantly pushing myself to create work that is both beautiful and meaningful.

In conclusion, I am grateful for the opportunity to share my art with you and to be a part of the vibrant contemporary art world. I hope that my work inspires you to connect with your own memories and stories and to appreciate the power of art to resist the passage of time.
