Sara Baun
Sara Baun, is an Italian contemporary artist who portrays the dark and surreal, focusing on animals as her primary subject.
Sara has been drawing since she can remember, and despite various jobs through college, art was always part of her life and her calling.
Sara dropped out of illustration school, floating between jobs until she started working at an animal rescue centre. There Sara, started drawing animals in her spare time.
After leaving the rescue centre Sara went to a stone-restoration school and worked on various restoration sites while still drawing in her spare time.
Sara now works as an artist full-time:
”Animals are protagonists in my artworks, I’m so fascinated by them, all of them. I still don’t know when the dark atmosphere started to come out (especially since I wanted to draw for children at the beginning) but I was always intrigued by melancholy, sadness, nostalgia and the list goes on, so I guess I’m just following what I’m into.”
