MEET THE ARTIST

SARIRA SAYAD

Sarira Sayad (nicknamed Szen Sari) is a multidisciplinary artist and designer, born on the Caspian Coast, currently based in Montreal and often found in New York City. Practicing arts and music since childhood, she later became a professional dancer while pursuing technical and graphic design before attending university, founding Canada’s first online resale marketplace for vintage luxury apparel and returning to her core passion of art in 2023.

In 2024, she developed her signature style in her first analog series Life Lines, applying dynamic strokes, merging illustration and painting to create minimalist fluid forms that tackle complex psychological, societal and philosophical issues.

She is fascinated by energy, movement, transformation and transcendence. True to her character, her work combines intuitive flow, deep insight and refined precision to convey a mystical and magical story exploring our nature, future and truth.
