Nizar Sarakbi

Nizar Sarakbi is a contemporary artist based in Ukraine, whose work is characterized by its vibrant exploration of cultural identity and personal narrative. Born to a multicultural background, Sarakbi skillfully weaves together influences from his heritage with motifs drawn from Ukrainian landscapes, urban scenes, and folklore. His art spans a range of media, including painting, mixed media, and installations, often using bold colors and expressive compositions to evoke themes of belonging, migration, and memory.
