Read MoreSara Costa is an italian portraitist, born and raised in the city of Pavia, where she pursued her artistic education and graduated from an art school.
From an early age, drawing was her silent sanctuary -a personal language through which to express emotions too delicate to be spoken.
Her work centers on portraits of iconic and renowned figures, rendered with refined technique and profound sensitivity.
She primarily uses pastels on plywood panels, which she often engraves to embed a tactile memory into the surface. Each piece becomes a dialogue between what is seen and what is felt, as the artist seeks not mere likeness, but the subject's deepest essence.
Sara enhances her portraits with poetic and unexpeted materials -dried leaves and flowers, glitter and strass, shards of glass and mirror- that introduce texture, light and fragility. Every element is chosen with care, forming an emotional language that mirrors her calm, melancholic and deeply introspective nature.
Through the characters she portrays, Sara embarks on a quiet exploration of the human soul, aiming to unveil its subtle truth beyound appearance.
Her art is not just representation -it is revelation: a visual narrative shaped by empathy, silence and sincerity.
