Sarah Jil Niklas
Sarah Jil Niklas is a German painter and sculptor whose works unite the fleeting grace of dance with the enduring expressive power of visual art.
Her unique technique fuses abstraction and realism into compositions that shift with perspective – a metaphor for the complexity of human experience. Drawing on her background in dance, she explores touch, connection, and presence in poetic visual form. Her series L’Anima Pensante (The Thinking Soul) reflects this sensibility, often integrating herself into the composition alongside professional dancers.
Working with canvas and semi-transparent materials, her paintings float in space, evoking movement, intimacy, and vulnerability.
Her works capture fragments of our cultural moment and transform them into lasting form – visual expressions of The Art of Human Being.
For Niklas, art is encounter: a space where the soul is mirrored, and the ephemeral becomes eternal.
