Being well known with her early modernistic paintings, in the 90s she transitioned to conceptual contemporary art. She started to explore multimedia practices, where she uses her cross cultural background to create art works, including complex relationships between culture, politics and identity. Dealing indirectly with political issues, she balances aesthetics and concept with work that often verges towards the poetic. Sabina is splitting her activities into three categories:
- Graphics and paintings – where she would apply expressiveness of color and forms, sometimes
combining with symbolic elements – such as extracts from poems and literary essays
- Video Art - Themes are selected based on historic, political and social background
- Photography
She is focusing on video installations and photo documentaries.
