Sabrina Bisi is a London-based designer and maker. Her practice is characterised by vivid colour and a sustained exploration of freedom, consciousness, and the space between the inner self and outer experience. Sabrina’s work has a note of retro nostalgia, with contemporary style and harmonious forms.

“The process involved into the creation of each artworks comes from experience and observation of the world and its balances. My inquisitive practice seeks a more handmade process, and searches for practices that reconnect me with the act of making. The use of sustainable practices and lifecycle of the artworks are integrated part of the process.”
