Saro Contemporary Artist

SARO creates his works and lives in Lausanne – Switzerland. Observer passionate about street art since the mid-90s, he likes to intertwine and interweave several universes featuring nature, buildings, surrealism, the fantastic and the abstract. Inspired by more than 20 years of photography, he enjoys digitally harmonizing the mess created by the subtle blend of different artistic sources such as photography, video, digitization of brick constructions, music and all other physical or digital media.

Since 2019, SARO has been revisiting the art of cutting by adding the heroes of his childhood to the alpine scenes. Traditionally, a single sheet of paper cut meticulously with scissors offers a majestic image of alpine life. The digitization of this tradition is shaking up and opening the doors to this art born in the Swiss mountains.

In these current works, SARO allows itself a geometric reorganization of urban landscapes and famous paintings. SARO loves to share his world filled with spirals. A die-hard fan of the famous Danish brick and these legendary figurines, SARO likes to house one of them in a work known to all or revisit the cover of a rock album.
