Sara Baun
Raised among the foggy fields of a small village in northern Italy, Sara Baun (b.1993) is an artist known for her dark, nostalgic surrealism. She operates a black-and-white nightmarish kingdom from a studio that has more plants, bones and books than actual walls, where a borderline illegal amount of Bic pens has been consumed. Air thick with the highly addictive scent of oily ink.
Some suspect she might be a bat, but she just likes to work at night. It’s quieter.
With a background in graphic design, illustration, animal rescue and stone-restoration, she now spends her nights obsessively scratching blank sheets with a pen, dwelling on emotions. The ones that leave a stain, make you grow. The ones you usually don’t like.She eviscerates these feelings through miles of ink, turning them inside out, inviting the viewer to linger in that quiet, unsettling space. To find a certain peace in it.
A human-less, natural world is the vessel of this uncanny imaginary.
Hobbies are: collecting bones, planting flowers and watching psychological, atmospheric horror movies.
