Sara Rahmanian is a multidisciplinary artist fascinated by everyday objects and the absurdity of contemporary life. She uses painting to explore the imaginative gaps between reality and perception. She paints on coffee filters or canvas. She draws from first-person perspectives, defamiliarizing the mundane to invite a heightened sense of contemplation about our surroundings. Painting is her go-to medium for playing hide and seek with objects, but more often than not, the process surprises her!
