Sara Anstis

Biography

Sara Anstis (b. 1991 Stockholm, lives and works in London) was raised on a small island off the Canadian west coast and draws and lives wherever she finds good light. She uses sensuous soft pastels and oil paint to build worlds that set the stage for explorations of subjectivity, mythology, and ecology. These themes are woven together in her images alongside a plethora of otherworldly elements - strange creatures, surreal landscapes and plants - by which her figures lay claim to desire, for better or for worse.
