SARA
CHRISTOVA

Working across painting, installation, and audiovisual media, Sara Christova explores phenomenology, transdimensionality and the art of navigating with no horizon.

Embracing and notions of distortion, decay and resonance, Christova’s work merges myth, physics and digital culture in delicate observations of the entropic nature of a global, networked civilisation. Her approach to art, technology, and the sciences as entwined ontological narratives, allows her to investigate the liquid, fluctuating nature of the human condition through experimental material transfigurations which put to question our extended presence in the world. With an emphasis on the disjointed and non-linear experience of time in and beyond the digital era, she looks for meaning in an age of compounding crises.

Sara Christova (b. 1994, Sofia, BG) is a multidisciplinary artist based in London, UK.

She holds an MA in Contemporary Art Practice (2024), and Graduate Diploma in Fine Art with Distinction (2023) from the Royal College of Art in London, as well as a BA with Honours in Illustration from Cardiff School of Art and Design (2016).

Her works have appeared at renowned institutions such as Tate Modern (CAP x Montez Press: Sonic Disruption, March 2024), the Sound Art Museum in Beijing (Fractured Continuum, March-April 2025), National Museum Cardiff (Museum Lates: Space, July 2019), and the Bulgarian National Palace of Culture (Millennial: Bulgarian Illustration, 2017).

In 2025 Christova unveiled her first permanent installation, To See is to Make Worlds (2025), during a double residency hosted by Dulwich College Beijing and Elsewhere Culture. She was recently awarded a Special Jury Prize at BUNA Vol.3: Forum for Contemporary Art (Varna, BG) for her site-specific installation LOCUS SOLUS 2.0 (2025) .
