Sereen’s artistic practice is rooted in a desire to create beautiful scenes, whether personal, cultural, or imagined, that evoke a sense of wonder and introspection, and the quiet allure of nature. She primarily works in gouache, oil, and ink, and draws inspiration from the natural world, old storybook illustrations, surrealist imagery, and bold, moody colour palettes.
