Hi there! My name is Sarah a.k.a. Pazuzu.
So far I can recall, i always had pens and brushes in the hands to express myself. It never stopped. Over time, new tools and supports have completed my palette of expression: digital tablet, oil painting... In order to draw everything that goes through my mind. Studying Geography and Anthropology strengthened my curiosity for every social phenomenon, feeling the urge to illustrate what I observe - from news, politics, diverse art forms, gender-related issues, human rights, but also the world of music, pop culture and sexuality...
In 2019, I had the opportunity to meet the fantastic Filippo Buzzini - a.k.a. Pippo - from Sketchy Solutions. He introduced me to the discipline of Graphic Recording or Graphic facilitation.
This versatile form of expression brings together my two strengths: a strong sense of synthesis and my drawing skills. At the same time, Amnesty International Switzerland trusted me by offering me the opportunity to practice Graphic Recording during two events. I have never felt so good before: listening, thinking, summarizing, drawing... The exchange with the public was more than positive. I want to do more.
