BIO
Nura Sainab Saker (b. 1988, Hamburg, Germany) is a multidisciplinary artist based in Barcelona, Spain. With a background in fashion design, having graduated from AMD Academy Fashion & Design, Hamburg, in 2010, she has since expanded her practice into painting, engraving, and drawing. She is best known for her bold, expressive strokes and her intuitive approach to artistic creation, employing a diverse range of techniques, from classical oil and acrylic painting to collagraphy and mixed-media explorations.
Her work delves into themes of inherited memory, subconscious narratives, and human mythology. In the series 'La Herencia', she visually interprets the silent forces that pass through generations, seeking to render visible the unspoken and unanswered. Expanding on this exploration, her series 'Nuevos Mitos' questions the human condition, investigating existential desires and the necessity of storytelling. Saker's practice is deeply rooted in emotional inquiry, allowing her work to emerge organically as a response to both personal and collective experiences. Whether in her commercial or personal projects, she maintains a strong focus on the emotive impact of her compositions, favoring an instinctive rather than a purely conceptual approach.
Nura Sainab Saker has exhibited her work in The Abstract Dialogue at RAUS, Berlin, and La Matriu, L’Estampa at Ca L’Antiga, Barcelona, both in 2024. She has also presented her work online through SHOWstudio, London, and held a solo exhibition at Studio 46 Private Gallery, Barcelona. Additionally, she participated in an artist residency at Studio 46, Joan Barbará, Barcelona, further developing her artistic practice and engagement with the contemporary art scene.
