Catherine Balet

Catherine Balet is a French artist born in 1959.

She graduated from the School of Fine Arts of Paris, Catherine Balet is fascinated by the digital revolution and seeks to understand its deep sense by immersing herself in the history of art. A painter by profession, she started practicing photography in the 2000s.

Her work takes a sociological dimension, like in her photographic portraits of teenagers, immortalizing the cloakroom of students around the world. Identity is a main subject in her artistic research, whether through portraits depicting styles or traditional uniforms or her last collection which focuses on the subject of social networks and new technologies.

She has paid tribute to the masters of photography, from Man Ray to Martin Parr, giving herself the opportunity to understand and integrate the trends of the art of photography of today and tomorrow.
