Sara Ferrer

Sara Ferrer is a Spanish visual artist born in Madrid known for her evocative and thought-provoking works that explore themes of identity, memory, and human interactions, often drawing inspiration from her personal experiences.

Early Life and Education

Sara developed a deep affinity for water from an early age, finding solace and refuge in swimming due to various health issues during her childhood. At the age of six, under medical recommendations, Sara moved to the Mediterranean coast, where she continued in swimming classes and found in the beach environment a comfortable place amidst challenging family dynamics. After a few years, she returned to Madrid and during adolescence, Sara began her artistic studies. She also engaged in voluntary artistic projects in Sicily and the west coast of France, further shaping her creative outlook.

Career

In 2000, Sara embarked on a transformative journey to South Shields, England, where she dedicated six intensive months to various social projects using art as a medium for community engagement. Her volunteer work earned recognition from local authorities, marking a pivotal moment in her artistic career and instilling a sense of social responsibility in her practice.

Continuing her artistic pursuits, Sara returned to Newcastle, England, to study Fine Arts. She also worked as a performer within the Theater Company NWSI and simultaneously pioneered her own innovative language teaching project, Multiculturart. This project, blending art and theater, received funding support from the British Council and showcased Sara's commitment to using art as a tool for education and social change.

Back to Madrid in 2005, she completed her studies at La Palma School of Art and Design n°1 and El Centro de Tecnologia del Espectaculo in Madrid. During this time, she continued to work in various theaters, as a props master and stagehand in prominent venues such as El Teatro Real in Madrid, Palau de les Arts Reina Sofía in Valencia, CNTC and Teatro de La Zarzuela, this experiences influenced Ferrer's artistic vision in creating connected narratives through everyday objects. Sara then relocated to Malta in 2011 before ultimately settling in Berlin in 2012 where she continues to live and work today.

In Berlin, Sara has established herself as an independent artist and collaborated with artists such as Ivana Franke, Tue Greenfort, Tomas Saraceno, and Alvaro Urbano in their artistic productions.

In recent years, Sara has intensified her dedication to raising awareness about ocean conservation, fueled by a deep-seated connection to the sea nurtured since childhood, and her first experiences breathing underwater. This profound passion has spurred her to pursue training as a diving instructor. By assuming both the roles of artist and diving instructor, Sara aims to merge art with environmental advocacy, leveraging her creative platform to shed light on the critical importance of preserving our oceans.

Artistic Style and Impact

Sara's work is characterized by its multidisciplinary approach, often incorporating elements of sculpture, installation, photography, and video art. Her pieces explore the complex interplay between personal experience and universal themes, inviting viewers to contemplate their own relationships with identity, memory, and the natural world. Through her commitment to social and environmental causes, Sara's work serves as a powerful catalyst for reflection and action.

Exhibitions and Recognition

Sara's work has been exhibited in galleries, artistic spaces, and museums across Europe, Asia, and Latin America. Her passion for the sea and dedication to promoting ocean awareness has led her to explore innovative projects that merge art and diving, such as her ongoing initiative Creative Divers.

Sara has received several awards for her contributions to the arts, including the Aurelio Blanco Extraordinary Prize for her studies at La Palma School of Art and Design n°1 in Madrid. In 2019, she was also one of the winners of the VII Edition of the Contemporary Talents Award by the François Schneider Foundation of France.
