Artist Statement: Drawing has become a long-overdue reunion with myself. An endless process of unraveling and confrontation with the unexplored territory of my own mind.

I’m pulled toward the emotions we obsessively try to avoid – the guilt, the anxiety, the shame, the unspoken pains that are often discarded as too hard to digest. Instead, I believe we should give them space and find clarity within them. And through ink, I learn to stay.

On a blank page, these feelings find a safe room, an easier way to simply exist without judgment. In this quest, I find dark surrealism to be a straightforward path to our deepest, most forgotten corners. It is raw, unfiltered, it cuts through the noise of daily life, connecting directly to our subconscious. I find it deeply healing, in its own quiet way.

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.
