About the artist

Maayan Zilberman launched Sweet Saba in October 2015, a collection of luxury sugar creations meant to stand alone as pieces of art. Based in New York City, the initial line featured a collection of items from the artist’s past cast in sugar meant to encapsulate ephemeral moments for friends to share--a way for memories ingested to take the place of sentimental objects. What began as a form of visual poetry for her soon became a larger scale project, with sugar-based installations and editions fabricated for clients such as Versace, Chanel, Dior, Esteé Lauder, Riccardo Tischi x Nike, Neiman Marcus, NBA, Jimmy Choo, La Prairie, Swarovski, Nars, Be@rBrick, Puma, Perrier and Canada Goose, amongst others; and for museums such as The Whitney Museum of American Art and Museum of Art & Design in New York City.

Zilberman and her artwork have been featured in The New York Times, VOGUE, Architectural Digest, Financial Times, Le Monde, ArtNet, The Oprah Magazine, W, Bazaar, Forbes, WSJ Magazine, ELLE Magazine, and more.

Sweet Saba has held retail partnerships with Bergdorf Goodman (New York, Neiman Marcus (national), Le Bon Marché (Paris), and On Pedder (Hong Kong).
