About

I’m Sara Hokolis Anin, a multidisciplinary visual artist specialized in art conservation and restoration, with a strong focus on precise, story-driven illustration. My academic training in academic drawing and painting, Byzantine iconography, and the study of form, anatomy, light, and materials supports the way I observe artworks in depth—translating that careful study into both traditional and digital visual work.

I work comfortably across editorial, educational, scientific, and commercial illustration, always prioritizing accuracy, visual storytelling, and professional execution. In parallel, I actively restore and conserve cultural heritage, combining historical technique knowledge with surface analysis and careful documentation. I’m proficient in Procreate, Photoshop, Illustrator, Figma, and Canva, and I enjoy creating detailed imagery that bridges classic craftsmanship with contemporary design workflows.

Holy Mother and Child

This expressive mixed media painting presents the Holy Mother and the Child Jesus through a contemporary figurative lens. Blending abstraction with expressive brushwork, the composition emphasizes divinity, maternal love, and spiritual protection rather than traditional realism. Rich layers of color, gestural marks, and symbolic forms create an intimate atmosphere, inviting viewers to reflect on the sacred bond between mother and child and the enduring presence of faith, compassion, and grace. gouache pastel watercolor

Citric squeezer
