Sarah Guarino

Sarah's practice explores migration, displacement, mobility, identity, lately integrating the experience of motherhood. Considering the personal, overall positive, enriching experience as an Italian in the UK, the artist questions the broader topic of immigration and its almost embedded bad acceptation. Through etching, lithography and collagraphs, Sarah’s artwork has been looking at prejudice/stereotypes, reflecting on identity and a particularly obsessive relationship with food. She has also explored the topic working on actual pasta as matrix, creating a strong link with a material directly linked to her identity. Sarah's latest works gravitate towards exploring motherhood and fertility, looking at how they contribute to shape identity. Sarah Guarino graduated in 2020 from Brighton University with a BA Fine Art: Printmaking. She has exhibited her works in the UK mainly in group shows ever since and recently (September 2024) had two solo exhibition in Portugal (Galeria do Espírito Santo, Moura -Beja and Centro de Documentação do Edifício Central do Municipio, Lisbon).
