SOBREMESA

Art Exhibition / Performance 
Ghent, Belgium · 2024

In Spain, sobremesa means that sacred time after a meal,  when stories linger and crumbs become witnesses. This project began as a zine made with poet Helena Martínez and grew into a performance where we tried to archive what can’t be archived: warmth, laughter, the remains of a shared moment. The leftovers became our way of holding on.

Through illustration and poetry, we turned the table into a place of care, hunger, and conversation , an open invitation to sit, share an orange, and rest your hands where ours have been.





AZULES

Permanent Photography Exhibition 
Madrid, Spain · 2022



Azules began as a photographic essay about the invisible:  the women who cleaned the residence where I lived. Day after day, they moved quietly through hallways, unseen and unthanked. Photographing them became a gesture of gratitude and tenderness. They worked like lionesses: fierce, kind, essential. 

This exhibition, now permanently displayed at the Erasmo Residence of the UAM, is a tribute to their strength and to all invisible care that keeps places alive. A soft conversation between those who see and those who are finally seen.












MONOCROMO

Photography Exhibition 
Pamplona/Iruña, Spain · 2018



I was seventeen when I created Monocromo, my first exhibition. I wanted to strip everything down, no colour, no noise, just light, shadow, and the quiet in between. Across three walls I placed people, animals, and spaces, each one observed in stillness, without interference. The old bus station of Pamplona, where it was shown, became part of the work itself: full of echoes, pauses, and passing moments.

Monocromo was my way of learning to look closely, to give meaning to the simple things, and to find poetry in what usually goes unnoticed.

Sara Iraburu / Buru!


I'm Sara Iraburu, a visual artist from Pamplona/Iruña (Spain), currently working between Dublin and Navarra under the name BURU!—my personal artistic identity and creative platform. My work focuses on illustration, graphic design, and visual storytelling, with a strong emphasis on emotion, connection, and narrative. I approach each project as a process of listening and observation—whether it’s a conversation, a place, or a fleeting moment—and translate those impressions into visual pieces that feel honest and human. BURU! represents my commitment to hand-crafted, thoughtful art that resonates on a deeper level, from children’s books and editorial illustration to posters, prints, and collaborative projects. Nature, human connection, and the quiet power of stories are constant sources of inspiration in my practice, and I’m passionate about creating work that invites empathy and understanding through visual language.
