About Sarah
Instagram: @sarahmichel.zeichnungen
Sarah Michel lives on the small german island Hiddensee in the Baltic Sea and likes to draw her inspiration from the island's rich treasure trove. Myths and people fascinate her and are regularly reflected in her subtle works. She is also very interested and influenced by street art, poetic literature, psychology (especially resilience research) and philosophy.
Her drawings are dialogs with experiences, current processes and ideas about the future, in a rather dreamy aesthetic, always in black and white and in a filigree network of simple metaphors.
Usually she works with very fine rapidographs or fountain pens, black ink on architect paper without preliminary sketches and the possibility to erase anything.
She has already exhibited several times on the island Hiddensee. Her drawings have also been shown in exhibitions worldwide, e.g. in London, Dubai and New York and she was awarded with the 1st International Donatello Art Prize in Florence in 2023 for her figurative depictions. The first children's book with her illustrations was published in early 2024. Some of her other drawings can also be found in Urban Fantasy books.
