Sabina Silver is a British-Ghanaian visual artist . She works primarily with acrylic, oil pastels, and pigment inks to create paintings that explore emotional tension, interiority, and diasporic memory. Her compositions often center on pause, stillness, or quiet interruption. They are less concerned with narrative or identity and more focused on mood, space, and psychological atmosphere.

Entirely self-taught, Silver’s practice is grounded in the slow observation of emotional shifts. Her work reflects how unease and rest often coexist and how tension can remain even in softness. Recent paintings move away from symbolic figuration and lean into looser forms, layered environments, and abstraction. Nature appears often. Plants, animals, and natural elements act as emotional cues, holding what is felt but not spoken.

Through Sabina Silver Studios, she also leads workshops and programming that support reflection and collective expression. Her work has been included in group exhibitions at institutions including The National Gallery and continues to develop through a process that values slowness, emotional honesty, and open interpretation.
