Biography

Sara Atrouni (b. 1992, Beirut) is a Lisbon-based autodidact artist whose practice interrogates the interplay of duality and wholeness. Informed by her background in psychomotor therapy, her work navigates the tension between control and surrender, precision and instinct, structure and dissolution. Obsession is central to her process—an intuitive excavation of color, texture, and materiality, where each element is pushed beyond its inherent boundaries. Approaching painting with a sculptural sensibility, Atrouni constructs compositions that are both visceral and deliberate, inviting tactile engagement and deep contemplation. Her exploration of perfection transcends conventional ideals, proposing instead that true completeness emerges through the reconciliation of opposites.
