Sara Pasternacki is a portuguese artist born in the year 2000. In the year 2022 she graduated from her bachelor's degree in Fine Arts from Escola Superior de Artes e Design in Portugal. Sara Pasternacki’s approach to art has been characterized by her interest in creating a bridge between our inner and outer worlds, to play and bring into the physical realm people's desires, fantasies, stories and experiences.  Since the end of her studies, Sara has been involved in many collaborative projects such as the organisation of workshops on writing and performance practices, curating group exhibitions and designing and publishing a multilingual zine as a member of the collective topo.grafiaaa. In these initiatives she along with her friends, has created spaces for people to connect with each other through art, spreading seeds for small communities to emerge from the desire to exchange knowledge beyond an artistic context. For her projects her main concern is to create work that stimulates people’s imagination through the development of environments that evoke the feeling of intimacy and conscious action. Reflecting on the development of environments that explore practices of care and rituals, her research finds its form and shapes in performance, drawing, installation and sculpture.
