Testimonials
I was researching artwork, modern and original, when I discovered, on Instagram, Sara’s publications. It was early 2023 and I started following her. I realized that she is a talented young woman who prints the state of her soul into colourful strokes that reminded me of Kandinsky or even Joan Miró.
And behold, Sara sent me a message inquiring if I wanted to know her collection. My yes was immediate but still, I wanted to see “in loco” her work and I went to Aveiro. I acquired immediately three artworks, but within a few weeks I already had ten.
Three of them decorate the walls of my entrance hall, a magnificent calling card for my home, which has become even brighter.
I have no doubt that this serene young woman will soon have a huge planetary projection. And I will continue to follow her and to be a faithful admirer.
“I discovered Sara Miguel’s work by happy chance, in the world of Instagram.
The colours, shapes and lines immediately connected with me, but it was the Totem series that I fell irremediably in love with!
I am proud to have one of these beautiful artworks in my home, which inspires us all, from the oldest to the youngest.
Thank you for your work and talent, Sara Miguel!”
“Your work fascinates us because of the constant discovery of details
that over time and when we revisit them, when we look at them again,
we always find a detail that surprises us.”
“Each artwork by Sara Miguel is a challenge to contemplation, to restlessness, to thought, to emotion, to imagination, to criticism, to the search for connection, to the search for meaning in the experiences that disturb and question us. It is an invitation to enjoy a dance of colours that magically touch multiple forms, configuring, figuring and transfiguring, signifying and re-signifying, feelings and reflections, emotions and reasons, in a game of expressiveness and enormous creativity. It is a passage for each person to travel on the wings of their imagination.”
“I’m passionate about Sara’s art. Since the first glance.
I immediately felt the intensity, the outstanding talent and I decided right away that I wanted to see a piece of her work every day.
That’s how it was and is, I have some of her paintings at home, bringing life to the walls and filling the family’s imagination.
I am sure that Sara is already part of the future of painting in Portugal”
A true “autoditacte”, in the noblest sense of the word, Sara Miguel exalts her art of living in her most varied pieces. The exhibition at the Associação 25 de Abril was a moment of revelation where the different aspects of her work came together to show the strength and diversity of Sara’s inspiration.
One of her artworks lives and breathes in our home, questions and challenges us with every look. It is impossible to describe the mixture of feelings, some friendly, others, at times, frightening, due to the multiplicity of facets of Sara’s work, in this piece as in many others.
in many others.
