Sarina Mannaert is a Belgium based artist, photographer, painter, make-up & hair artist who has been active in the television-, fashion-, art- & event- world for several years. Specialized in beauty, fashion, character creation and artistic visualization, she consistently wields her brushes and/or stands behind the camera to capture the essence of life and beauty.
 

At the age of 16, she embarked on a modeling journey, lured by the enchanting allure of photoshoots. 
Through her experiences as a model, she delved deeper into the transformative potential of make-up and learned that this was not merely a cosmetic tool but also a vehicle for empowerment, liberation, and self-expression. It served as a catalyst for metamorphosis, allowing her to embrace her diverse personas. This realization awakened her possibilities of self-reinvention and how it could help others see themselves in new and empowering ways.

In Antwerp she studied allround make-up and attended numerous workshops to perfect her craft as a polyvalent artist. But because her passion for the visual arts never stopped she also kept developing her photography skills. This gave her the big advantage of aligning the right direction and feel to a picture of her own making. ​
This versatile background made her not just an artist, but also an expert in lighting and details. Her work is infused with local traditions, collaborations and circular practices, as she believes in the value of sustainability and community. Her love for photography and make-up eventually led her to the TV & artists industry, where she learned to translate personal stories into visual art.

MISSION

My mission is to transform people and tell their stories uniquely through make-up and accompanying photoshoots. I create portraits tailored to the individual needs and requests of each person or organization.

 

Storyteller with a Personal Approach

​

From my studio in the heart of Antwerp, I transform and portray individuals with a personal touch. After an initial consultation, I delve into their history, resulting in a sketch or mood board. The final product is a distinctive yet unconventional portrait that captures the essence of the person or organization.

VISION 
 

My vision is to make a deeper connection with people and tell their stories through art and creativity. I believe that my personal approach and attention to detail,  can have a lasting impact on those I works with.

 

I offer a personalized and bespoke approach that goes beyond traditional portrait photography, using my experience in make-up, modeling, TV and styling to bring out the best in people.

My work celebrates inclusivity, diversity, creativity, and personal stories, and I thereby strive to inspire and transform others through my art.​
