Sabina Silver, born in Kumasi, Ghana, and based in Amsterdam, is a visual artist whose work delves into themes of migration, identity, love and loss. Drawing deeply from her personal experiences and Ghanaian heritage, Silver’s art employs symbolic colors—red, black, and white—to explore the emotional terrain of loss, resilience, and healing. Her work often reflects on memory, both personal and inherited, portraying it as a dynamic force that shapes present identities. Exhibiting in renowned spaces such as The National Gallery, Silver invites viewers into a dialogue about collective healing and the power of storytelling.

In her practice, Silver incorporates natural motifs such as plants and animals, using them as metaphors for life, growth, and transformation. Her use of color is deeply rooted in Ghanaian traditions, where red, black, and white are tied to rituals of mourning and remembrance, but in her hands, they become tools for exploring renewal and recovery. Through her work, Silver reclaims the often-overlooked stories of women and girls, offering a space where grief, resilience, and empowerment coexist, ultimately inviting viewers into a process of reflection and healing.
