About
I’m an abstract expressionist painter based in Zürich, Switzerland. Mostly self-taught, I began painting in my early twenties as a way to stay balanced in a world that often feels fast and chaotic. My work is bold, dynamic, and intuitive—an exploration of energy, color and emotions that exist beyond words.
Alongside my studio practice, I work in the acute ward of a psychiatric clinic with teenagers facing mental health challenges, and at a correctional center, where I lead art sessions with inmates. These experiences continually inspire me and strengthen my belief in art as a powerful form of healing and connection.
Since 2018, I’ve been sharing my passion through workshops and private classes, encouraging others to explore their creativity freely and fearlessly.
"Art is a very powerful tool to express unspoken feelings. This is why we can feel so attached to a painting solely by looking at it.
The painting mirrors our feelings."

Words escape me, but the canvas holds everything.
How nice is Zurich?
SRF Virus was out and about in Zurich with its "Mutterstadt" format to find out whether Zurich was the best city in Switzerland. In terms of culinary delights, Zurich could not score so well, but the action painting with artist Sarah Seyffert received full points.
Testimonials
Sarah is a very pleasant and approachable teacher. She can give you the feeling of letting go and getting into the process freely and trustfully. -Valerie
Sarahs style of teaching is one of believing in yourself. It is less about the painting being perfect, but much more about trying yourself and adding that personal uniqueness to it.
She embodies this great energy where you feel seen and heard. I am definitely coming back. - Kiki
Nothing tops the feeling of having my own art hanging in my living room. And how come it looks so presentable as well? Sarah knew where to push me and where to hold me back. - Sam
