About

Sara Palacios – Textile Artist, Designer, and Founder of Sara Palacios Designs Sara Palacios is a Cuban-born American textile artist and designer whose work explores memory, displacement, and the transformation of lived experience into layered beauty. Through hand-painted fabrics, mixed-media collage, and fine art prints, she creates pieces that blur the line between art and interior design. Sara began her professional creative career in wearable art, producing a hand-painted textile fashion line from 1997 to 2005. The transition from fashion to interiors felt natural. Instead of dressing the body, she began dressing the home. Under Sara Palacios Designs, she creates original fine art prints, hand-painted upholstery fabrics, custom accent chairs, decorative pillows, and curated collections that transform spaces into visual narratives. Her textiles are not pattern-driven in the traditional sense; they originate as complete artworks. She works intuitively — printing, stenciling, collaging, and layering materials until each piece carries depth and emotional resonance. Her collections often reflect poetic themes — florals as metaphor, abstract landscapes inspired by memory, layered blues referencing nature and sky. Texture plays a central role. Fabric, paper, paint, and stitching coexist in compositions that feel both contemporary and timeless. Sara believes interiors should feel collected rather than decorated. Her design philosophy centers on layering — adding art, textiles, and statement furniture to otherwise neutral spaces to create warmth, identity, and story. She advocates for accessible art ownership through fine art prints while also offering one-of-a-kind custom pieces for collectors and designers. Her work speaks to homeowners, interior designers, and hospitality spaces seeking soulful, art-driven environments rather than mass-produced décor. Each piece is created with intention, honoring craftsmanship in an increasingly digital world. Her work stands at the intersection of fine art and interior design — where memory becomes material, and spaces become personal.
