Biography

Daughter of a painter, Sabine Christin knew very early on what an artist's life represented. After having followed with passion the curriculum of the School of Fine Arts in Paris, she embarked on a unique path. Fascinated since her childhood by the material-paper, of which she had been able to measure the wonderful diversity in a Japanese shop from the age of eight, she very quickly chose to explore collage while drawing, and painting on fabrics and plexiglass. . She invented an original technique using glued colored papers, with contrasting mattness, transparency, thickness and radiance.

Effects of depth, movement, dazzling and blackness, between disturbing strangeness and surprising tranquility. An ode to suspended time and an uneasy life, these works build a unique visual universe.
