Best known for his highly contrasted black and white illustrations, Sabari explores the depths of the human mind by prompting questions regarding the way in which we connect with ourselves in relation to the world. The act of deeming topics such as mental health awareness and vulnerability as taboos is called into question in order to encourage dialogue rather than to eschew them altogether.
Having spent much of his life following conventional paths to success against his own will, Sabari aims to encourage people to be openly honest about themselves in order to forge deeper connections with others while instilling a sense of individuality within oneself. Although inspired by contemporary art movements, Sabari also draws inspiration from Old Master paintings for their use of vivid colors and focus on the centralization of a particular subject matter. The artist’s use of shining white lights against dark backgrounds in many of his works epitomizes this value by drawing attention to the subject of interest, who is often depicted in a state of distress, melancholy, vehemence, or some form of emotional expression.
While Sabari's works are subjective in their portrayal of repressed thoughts and feelings, they are also objective in that the artist desires for viewers to form their own interpretations rather than following those of his own. By leaving his works open to interpretation, Sabari is giving both himself and his viewers the capability to think for oneself while simultaneously connecting with others.
