Sara Berman describes her paintings as ‘a dialogue between painting and textiles'  and joins Juliet on the podcast to breakdown her works and the 'uncomfortable nooks of the female bodily experience' found in her self portraits.

Originally from London, Sara Berman studied at St. Martins School of Art & Design and later took a Masters of Fine Art at Slade School of Art. Her work can be found in notable international collections, and she has exhibited extensively in solo and group exhibition, currently represented by Vielmetter in Los Angeles.

Sara describes her paintings as ‘a dialogue between painting and textiles.’
With a background both in fashion and art, Sara brilliantly creates a game of  materiality in her large scale compositions in oil on canvas.

The conversation is very much based around the female experience and touches on every aspect of how Sara personally operates in the world and how this is represented in her work.  Her experiences are reflected through the character of the Trickster Whore and the use of the Harlequin as a starting point for all her paintings.
