Sara Maia

Sara Maia was born in Lisbon in 1974. She completed her training at ARCO in Lisbon. She has been exhibiting regularly since 1992. Her talent and creativity have been evident from a very young age, making her one of the most promising artists of her generation.
The highly narrative aspect and a caustic and subtly ironic perspective on the small and big dramas of our society have remained the most emblematic aspect of her style, which challenges traditional morality by demystifying all its false values and behavioral patterns. Close to the imaginary world of an artist with the international stature of Paula Rego, Sara Maia has successfully paved her own path where the violence of certain images combines with the grotesque and the fantastic of an impassive gaze, creating images of a contemporary theater of cruelty.
