As a multidisciplinary artist fascinated by everyday objects and the absurdity of contemporary life, Sara Rahmanian makes imaginative paintings that explore the gaps between reality and perception. She paints on coffee filters or canvas, drawing from a first-person perspective that defamiliarizes the mundane by inviting a heightened sense of contemplation about our surroundings. In a sense, she plays hide and seek with familiar objects via her painting process, but more often than not, the process surprises her.
