SAGIE VANGELINA

Sagie is an Afro-Dominican artist working in abstract expressionism through the use of painting and sculpture. Her unique style of abstract linework illustrates a journey of self-discovery. Her creativity is fueled by life experiences, constantly evolving, portraying themes of reflection, identity, and love. These lines can be seen as a transformation from negative to positive in order to find balance. Creating has always been a natural form of therapy where she can escape reality and fully express herself, and believes others could benefit from this approach as well. Sagie aims to inspire and embrace obstacles by enhancing them creatively.
