Sara Hoque
Sara Hoque is a painter known for her landscapes which capture the essence of the natural world. Born to a Norwegian mother and a British/Bengali father, her multicultural upbringing fostered a deep appreciation for travel and a nomadic way of life. This sense of movement and connection to nature is central to her work, which is heavily influenced by her life on a narrowboat.
Through her work she aims to unravel the complexity of ‘awe’- an emotion that can be both pleasurable and imbued with mystery or uncertainty. Immersed in the ever-changing beauty of her surroundings, she translates these experiences into paintings that reflect both the serenity and vitality of the natural world.
Sara's work is deeply rooted in mental wellbeing through art, colour and nature. She has worked with the NHS to transform the persistent pain clinic at St Barts hospital in London, and has hosted creative workshops for its patients. Sara is also working with mental health charities to offer workshops as a form of art therapy.
