Sara Rodighiero
Hamburg , Germany
Artist Sara Rodighiero paints whimsical scenes that blend abstract patterns, dynamic shapes, and figurative elements. “The fusion of individual realities, the inevitable cycle of mortality, and the connection between humans and nature are the central themes of my works,” says Sara. She was born in 1981 to Sardinian parents and grew up on the outskirts of Hamburg, Germany. Sara began painting at a young age, turning the upstairs of her family’s former hotel into a studio and displaying her art in the restaurant downstairs. Today, she paints with a view of elder, hawthorn, and hazel trees - a peaceful contrast to her workspace inside. Outside of art, Sara grows her own vegetables, loves insects, and proudly eats pineapple on pizza.
Artist Statement
I'm not trying to create harmony in my work—I'm more like an alchemist, exploring and transforming the chaos within me.
My paintings live in a space between the North and the Mediterranean, shaped by both landscapes and cultures. I’m drawn to themes like personal identity, the cycle of life and death, and the relationship between people and nature. I try to create moments that feel a little unmoored—where getting lost can actually open space for new meaning or reflection.
Visually, I blend abstract patterns, wild movements, and disorder with quieter, more grounded elements like portraits or plants. These pieces often come together as a single whole, reflecting the ongoing dance between chaos and order. Amid all the richness and complexity, I always aim to leave space for a quiet center—a pause or still point.
I grew up in the rural outskirts of Hamburg, the child of Sardinian immigrants, and I taught myself to paint from a young age. Over time, I’ve developed my own style using a mix of materials and techniques, always driven by a deep urge to express something real. The decorative intensity in my work isn’t just for show—it’s a way of making sense of life’s layered complexity. The dots that often appear—what I call PuntoPazzo—are part of that visual language, translating emotion and experience into something you can see and feel.
