Sara Von Kienegger is a renowned Austrian painter, who has also performed corporate identity work for companies such as Aston Martin, W Motors. Her talent was apparent at an early age: HTL Ortwein awarded her numerous accolades inclu
ding two coveted graphic design awards and her first fashion collection was presented at age 16. By the age of 19, Sara’s paintings were exhibited in 19 countries. She has left her mark on the art world from Austria, to America and the Middle East. Moving to Dubai in 2010, Sara single handedly oversaw the art direction of publications such as FACES OF THE MIDDLE EAST and WOMEN OF THE UAE – making her one of the youngest art Directors in the MENA region and the most controversial for her stance on women rights. During her time as an Art Director in the Middle East, Sara developed the branding and corporate identities of leading companies. Her creative flair and unique design techniques – using traditional and digital media, unveils her trademark style, which is identifiable in all of her works. A former understudy of Khalifa El Shimy, a well-known Egyptian artist and calligrapher, Sara’s Arabic art works continue to be widely accepted and coveted throughout Europe and the middle east. Her photographic exhibit of War Shots in Syria, around which Edward Bass has centered a documentary, as well as her stature as the youngest major art director in MENA, solidify her multi-talented persona. GERTRUDE VON KIENEGGER, Sara’s grandmother, instilled a work ethic in Sara which molded her, painting with her since she was 2 years old and telling her through her good deeds and art she could be an example for generations to come, bringing peace, tranquility, and unity. By the time she was 10, she won the Eduscho Award. Her grandmother was avant garde in many ways, including fighting the Nazis by joining the underground – a very dangerous job for a woman in her position. Sara changed her last name to match that of her grandmother, Gertrude, who instilled a work ethic in Sara which molded her, painting with her since she was two years old and telling her through her good deeds and art she could be an example for generations to come, bringing peace, tranquility, and unity. Sara plans to continue her own work in her family’s spirit in New York City.
