Sara Jacob paints from the collision of cultures, memory, and lineage. Moving between Berkshire, Nigeria, and the North of England, she never tried to simplify who she was. Instead, she built her practice inside the friction. Using indigo-dyed cloth, ancestral symbolism, and even her grandmother’s original oil paints, her work holds history as material, not metaphor. In her paintings, migration is not just movement across land it’s what continues to travel through the body, across generations, refusing to settle into one story.
