About

Hi, I’m Sarah Orfali, a Saudi Arabian artist from Medinah. I explore themes of vulnerability, memory, and emotion through my artwork, often using expressive characters and spontaneous mark-making. My creative inspiration comes from animation, childhood play, and artists such as Yoshitomo Nara and David Hockney. I enjoy creating intimate scenes that invite empathy and reflection.

I create illustrations that feel alive—whether for editorial, books, or personal commissions. I bring a fine art background and research-based approach to each project, aiming for clarity, feeling, and impact.
Let’s build something honest and expressive.
