Sara Enrico’s (born 1979) work spans sculpture, installation, and textile arts. Her practice centers on the relationship between material, form, and the body, often using unconventional techniques and fabrics to create abstract pieces. Her Jumpsuit Theme series (2017–), for example, casts custom-made garments in pigmented concrete, preserving folds, seams, and zippers as traces of absent bodies. Shown on low white plinths, these ghostly forms hold improbable poses, evoking moments of contact, distance, and quiet communion.

Enrico studied at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Turin and the Istituto Spinelli in Florence and in 2013 attended the Advanced Course in Visual Arts with Matt Mullican at the Fondazione Antonio Ratti in Como.

Enrico has exhibited widely at venues such as Fondazione Furla and GAM - Galleria d’Arte Moderna di Milano (upcoming), Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea, Palazzo Collicola in Spoleto, OGR in Torino, the 59th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia, Akademie der bildenden Künste in Vienna, American Academy in Rome, Národní galerie Praha in Prague, Mart in Rovereto, Centrale Fies Art Work Space in Dro, PAV in Torino, OFF Biennale Cairo, and Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo in Torino. Her accolades include the Italian Fellowship in Visual Arts - Fondazione Sviluppo e Crescita CRT at the American Academy in Rome (2021), Cantica21 (2021), the Italian Council (2018), and the New York Prize (2017–2018). Currently, Enrico is a professor at the Politecnico delle Arti in Bergamo.
