There is a quiet intensity in the way Sarah Almehairi speaks about her art—her words are thoughtful and precise, echoing the careful attention she brings to her creative work. An Emirati artist whose practice spans painting, sculpture, and installation, Almehairi has spent the past several years developing a distinctive visual language shaped by abstraction, geometry, and an ongoing dialogue with materials.
This year marks an important moment in her artistic journey as she presents a new body of work at Art Dubai, one of the region’s leading art fairs. She is represented there by Carbon 12, a respected contemporary gallery known for supporting innovative voices in art.
At the heart of Almehairi’s evolving style is a fascination with systems—not in the technical or mechanical sense, but as poetic structures that repeat, shift, and unfold. Her art explores how form and meaning can emerge through subtle variations and layered processes. “Abstraction felt intuitive and deeply connected to me,” she says, offering insight into why she continues to return to this language of shapes, lines, and textures.
Her work invites viewers to slow down and consider not just what is visible, but how it came to be. It is a meditation on movement, repetition, and the quiet power of intentional creation.
