My name is Sara Macapagal, I'm an artist based in Toronto, Canada. Art has been in my life since I was a child, however the work I do now really only started in 2020. During that first year of the pandemic, I started making cards for friends and family who I couldn't see in person. I had some beautiful magazines that my sister sent me, with pastel colour palettes and lovely matte paper that have become my preference.
The work has always been intuitive and unplanned - usually dictated by the relationship between shapes, textures and colours. A theme will emerge, and I like to use words, phrases or dictionary definitions to prompt a connection between the shapes and images on the page.
The images are ultimately up for interpretation, and I like to invite the viewer to find their own meaning in them. For me, it's a link between the unexpressed in me, and the unexpressed in you: it's an attempt to create connection, to speak from within myself, from a place that has no words or language.
