Sara Tohme is a Lebanese artist who pursued her education at McGill University in Sociology and Cultural studies. She worked in Beirut in advertising before moving to Berlin where to study graphic design and painting. She is now living and working in Berlin. Sara started painting at a very young age soon to develop her own style. Her bright colour palette combined with organised lines display the controversy of containment and freedom that she notices in the people around her. The absence of shadows and the flatness in her works evoke graphic and childlike emotions. She paints portraits that seem to feel emotions of indifference but also reflect a discreet sense of fascination. She uses art as a tool to interpret the world and get by, one day at a time. She paints to understand her surroundings and is inspired by those around her.
