Sara Pope

Oil Painting | Pop Portraiture | Glossy - Iconic - Expression-Led

Sara Pope is best known for her ultra-glossy portraits of lips – bold, seductive and unmistakably her own. Fusing techniques drawn from her background in fashion and design, Sara elevates the most expressive feature of the face into high-impact pop portraiture, capturing attitude and emotion in a single, stylised moment.

Each painting begins with a photoshoot – lipstick, lighting and a camera used to sculpt the subject’s expression before brush ever meets canvas. From there, she builds the final work in delicate layers of oil-diluted paint – sometimes mixed with lipstick – creating a flawless, hyperreal finish that echoes the high gloss of advertising.

Sara’s work has been exhibited internationally, from Saatchi Gallery to SCOPE Miami, and is held in collections from the Royal Academy to the Vatican. Commissions include royalty, opera singers and global beauty icons – but the heart of her practice remains the same: a study of power, femininity and the language of lips.
