About

Sabine paints dreamlike "surfscapes", capturing the magic and ethereal beauty of the ocean. Deeply inspired by her passion for surfing, her work reflects those fleeting moments on the water: glimpses of realities beyond reality.

She is particularly drawn to ocean plastics: fishing ropes, microplastics, and other beach-found materials, which she transforms into unique craftwork, guided by her "from beach to project" philosophy.

Through her art and creations, she brings the beauty of the sea and the importance of sustainability together in a unique, heartfelt way.

Types of Creations

  • Rope artworks

    Wall art crafted from fishing rope, meticulously arranged and adhered to canvas, piece by piece. Each rope is collected during beach clean walks along the shores of Portugal.

  • Surfspace paintings

    The paintings blend ocean waves, cosmic galaxies, and sacred geometry symbols, creating a harmonious fusion of nature and the universe.

  • Eco-friendly decor

    From lamps and candle holders to accessories, each piece is crafted from beach-found materials, carefully collected during beach clean walks along the shores of Portugal.

    The materials include beach-found fishing rope, floats, microplastics (such as earbud sticks), and various other objects.
