Sabrina Pohl (b. 1994 / Ludwigsburg, Germany) is a German abstract artist based in Stuttgart. Her works are represented by 8th Ave. Gallery, Florida. She lived for many years in Vienna while practicing her abstract work and graduating in art history. During that time, she worked with a menswear designer on a collection for the New York Fashion Week. In 2021 she had her first solo exhibition in Dubai. In 2020 she moved back to Germany, where she now lives and works.

In Sabrina Pohl's abstract works, she draws on the intuitive use of forms to dissolve the visible and the preconditioned. Therefore she opens up new perspectives, which first intend to create openness for a new viewing space. Those caught glimpses of her surroundings, for example, seen in the abstract landscape works, become simplified, fragile beings by using reduced forms and contours. In doing so, she deals with the emphasis on space and light.

In general, she describes the process as follows: "For me, creating means continually being open through the process. It feels like asking the drawing for the next step. And sometimes it's hard because your mind wants to tell its own story, and sometimes it's easy because you only have to listen."

One of her prime intentions is to transform the visible into the core element, guided by a process of dissolving. It is like ending a nice chat, and now it's time for the walk home. The core is neither white nor black – not only just a depiction of a feeling, or of light and of space, or put ironically, the infinite nothingness. It's your mirror.
