Sara D’Uva is a visual artist, photographer, and art director. Her work explores both photographic and cinematic imagery with an enigmatic and mystical quality.
After earning a degree in Communication Sciences, she specialized in graphic design and analog photography before transitioning to digital media. At the core of her artistic vision lies the desire to unveil the unseen -the hidden dimensions of reality that elude conventional perception- through a synthesis of vision and lateral thinking. Her aesthetic approach remains deeply rooted in analog and organic processes. Inspired by nature’s intricate structures, her gaze becomes the instrument through which extremes dissolve into one another, fostering a sense of perceptual ambiguity. Her images oscillate between the micro and the macro, the visible and the invisible, appearance and essence, where the organic and the real merge into an uncanny reverie. Her works have been exhibited in numerous national and international group exhibitions. In 2024, she presented her latest solo exhibition in Tokyo, showcasing Silvery Water and Starry Earth, a photographic and video project shaped by her research and direct engagement with Spagyric practices and Alchemical philosophy. Since 2016, she has been a member of the KML Foundation, founded by French pianists Katia and Marielle Labèque. As an art director and photographer, she works extensively in the realms of fashion and advertising, overseeing design, institutional campaigns, events, and installations. As a visual artist, she cultivates a profound synergy with sound, collaborating with musicians such as Lee Ranaldo, Mats Gustafsson, MMMD (Mohammad), Jim Jarmusch, and Katia & Marielle Labèque. In recent years, her research has delved into the philosophy and practice of Alchemical art, operative Alchemy, and Spagyria.
