About

Sarah Main is an immersive abstract artist whose practice combines large-scale painting, augmented reality, and sound design. Each physical work carries a custom digital layer, an animation with composed audio that activates when a smart device is pointed at the canvas. The experience is authored specifically for each piece and integrated permanently into the work.


Sarah also performs internationally as a house DJ, a practice that directly informs her approach to sound design and live experiential events.


Read full bio

Sarah Main grew up in Australia and studied fine arts at Sydney University before relocating to Ibiza in 1999, where she built a career as a professional DJ, including a residency at Pacha. Her move into full-time artistic practice brought together everything she had developed across painting, music, and performance, resulting in a body of work that operates at the intersection of physical art, technology, and spatial experience.


Today she works with luxury hotels, private collectors, and international exhibitions across Europe and the United States. Recent projects include an art residency at Mondrian Ibiza, a 32-piece installation at Amàre Beach Hotel Ibiza, and a multi-sensory cultural residency at The Goodtime Hotel Miami during Art Week 2025.


In 2025, she was selected as one of 20 artists from 763 international entries to exhibit at the Rijksmuseum (2026) in the Google Pixel × KPN × Rijksmuseum AI Art Competition.


Based: Barcelona (October–March) / Ibiza (Spring–Summer)

What I Create

Testimonials

"Sarah Main's residency at Amàre Beach Ibiza transformed our hotel's atmosphere. Her immersive pieces reshaped the energy of our spaces, creating a fresh, innovative experience that left a lasting impression on our guests."

Elena Riveres Amàre Beach Hotel

"A pioneer in immersive abstraction. Main's work represents the vanguard of contemporary art, where technology amplifies rather than replaces human creativity."

Borja Martinez Mondrian Ibiza

"Her work is an experience, not an object. Guests don't simply walk past her installations. They pause, engage, and leave changed. That's the mark of truly exceptional art."
