🔳Sabina Šinko born in Maribor, lives in Lendava, Slovenia. 

After studying art and art education, she works artistically as a painter and costume, set, and puppet designer.

Assistant Professor at the University of Maribor. In her artistic work as a painter, she focuses on painting watercolors and acrylic techniques on canvas, paper, and silk. 

Her artistic research topics are relationships between reality and fantasy, mass and popular culture, and intimacy. In the last period, she reacts emotionally to the tragic the world phenomena such as migration, refugees, and ecological disaster. She often tends to surrealism, combination of natural and artificial worlds, humans, and animals. 

She combines elements from different sources within a single painting, influenced by her observations of peoples' daily interactions with nature she creates a moving and unique portraits. They are dreamlike and theatrical, with energy that is clearly perceivable by our senses. 

The images are leading to the imagination and come alive for the person who looks at it. Interlacing by techniques is very obvious in her paintings. She uses traditional Chinese ink and watercolors overlays several times, while maintaining each coat to achieve fairness and a watercolor effect. 

She works in a nontraditional uncontrolled, free-flowing way often mixed on a different basis. Creativity is for her a play between control and freedom where subjects display their feelings, moods, and emotions. She has a particular sensitivity for techniques where color-flow reveals the subjects and forms. Ink and watercolor create abstract effects that enrich the visual impact of her work.
