Sarah Tamani is a French painter, illustrator, and award-winning designer based in Brooklyn. Her work blends fine art, storytelling, and cultural commentary—across canvas, clothing, murals, and animation.
Her viral Night Emperors series—giant hand-drawn tributes to New York’s nightlife—led to a TV feature, a collaboration with JR, and permanent installations in iconic venues and Paul Sevigny’s private collection. Clients include Adidas, Nike, Refinery29, Equinox, and Konbini.

She studied literature and philosophy in France and holds an MFA in Design as Entrepreneur from SVA. Inspired by psychology and cognitive dissonance, she believes our reality is shaped by our beliefs and trauma: our external world mirrors our internal one. Her art challenges opposites. Think a cactus offering free hugs or two boxers hugging instead of fighting, inviting viewers to feel and think deeply.


Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will rule your life and you will call it fate. — Carl Jung
She’s created bespoke, hand-painted pieces with luxury label Helena Magdalena, and murals for nightlife icons like Eli Escobar. Her universe blends poetry, symbolism, and emotional truth, infused with subversion and soul. At the core of her art is a need for connection. What we all crave is to be fully seen.

In the midst of winter, I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer. — Albert Camus
