Testimonials

“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.”
Júlio Costa, Entrepreneur
“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.”
Jacinta Afonso, Teacher
“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!”
Patrícia Coelho, Attorney
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.
Nélia Guarda, Teacher
“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”
João Cravina, Business Manager

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.

"Ilha do Príncipe n.°4 - Autorretrato"

Esta é mais uma obra de 2023, inicialmente abstrata, um rascunho do sentir, onde as camadas iniciais serviram de mote para o Autorretrato que emergiu.

Este Autorretrato é especial, onde cada pincelada estalebece uma conexão com o meu passado com África, mais concretamente com São Tomé e Príncipe.

Na verdade, estamos todos interligados ☀️ Somos humanos com raízes de árvores que atravessam oceanos.

"Sede de liberdade" é o título desta nova obra, iniciada em 2023, concluída há uns dias.

O papel colado na tela pertence a uma agenda de abril de 2003, onde aparece destacado o dia da Liberdade. "Sede de liberdade" é uma crítica sob forma de protesto à atualidade em Portugal e no mundo.

Como dizia Charlie Chaplin em "O ditador":

'You are not machines! You are men! You have the love of humanity in your hearts! You, the people, have the power / To make this life free and beautiful / Then, in the name of democracy / Let us use that power, Let us all unite'

Acedi à memória do meu telemóvel e queria encontrar 3 obras em papel onde eu encontrasse e conseguisse observar as minhas raízes, a minha essência criativa e ancestralidade.

Uma das primeiras que me lembrei de partilhar consigo foi o meu primeiro desenho da série Totem (primeira imagem), que marcou uma grande viragem no meu modo de criar. Até essa altura, eu criava mais obras abstratas, foi a partir daí que comecei a explorar mais o desenho figurativo abstrato.

Nestas 3 obras vejo África e o Brasil, vejo esse ADN no meu traço, que perdura já há várias gerações na minha família, transformando-se numa memória coletiva familiar mas também da própria comunidade.

Pode parecer banal, mas a maneira como o sinto não é. E sei que tu o sabes e sentes do mesmo modo. Conhecer-te é uma das melhores "coisas" que me aconteceu. Contigo é tudo tão natural. 

Neste Autorretrato, iniciado mais ou menos há um ano e reconstruído um ano depois, retrato as múltiplas camadas que a vida me foi acrescentando. As diversas vivências, desde as boas às mais duras. Cada encontro e desencontro. 

Tem sido um ano desafiante, de recomeços.

Obrigada por estarem desse lado, por testemunharem um pouco da minha história.

A dança da cor na memória ⏳️
Há beleza na tristeza e força na fragilidade.

Nestas obras, a figura surge como uma forma de abordar a efemeridade da vida e a dor existencial, enquanto a cor celebra a sua beleza. É uma dança constante entre o que foi e o que é, um testemunho de que a vida, nas suas imperfeições, é a nossa maior obra-prima.
