Sarah El Idrissi (b. Colombes, France) is an emerging artist based in Paris. She completed her postgraduate studies at the Beaux-Arts de Paris in 2025, in the studio of Michel Blazy. She previously earned a Master degree in Fine Arts and Contemporary Research from Université Panthéon-Sorbonne of Paris, and also studied Architecture at the École Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture of Versailles.

Sarah is a French artist from Moroccan and Iraqi heritage whose practice approaches history as a material, one that fosters encounters between layered realities. She spatializes images, sculptures, music, and archives, creating juxtapositions that provoke new encounters and reveal unseen narratives.

She is drawn to the emotional charge of storytelling and how abstract states can take physical, sensory form. Her work often begins in the everyday and unfolds through subtle gestures and shifts in scale. She is especially attentive to what endures; what is shaped by time, collapse, or care.

Sarah’s works fuse archives, glass work, crafted wood, photography (analog and digital), sound, video and embroidery. She reinterprets archives and artifacts, combining personal objects with locally found materials to create narrations that question intimately the notion of truth and fiction.

She has taken part in multiple exhibitions in France and taken part in residencies at IMAS (Institute of Marine and Antarctic Studies) in Tasmania, at the Louvre museum CR2MF (Center for Research and Restoration of the Museums of France), France, at Verksmiðjan á Hjalteyri in Iceland, and in 2026 at Poush, France. These experiences continue to shape her engagement with new contexts, histories and narrations.
