"Through each canvas, I seek to translate what words cannot say - fragments of life, city and emotion, between memories and light."
Biography
Originally from Pas-de-Calais, Sabine Kalka grew up surrounded by the gentle influences of the northern skies and the powerful images of silent cinema. Since childhood, she has been passionate about charcoal drawing and Impressionist works. Living in the Southeast, she discovered the light of the South, then moved to the Southwest where she pursued her artistic path with intensity.
She defines herself as a “modern impressionist," working primarily in oil, ink, and acrylic, with a predilection for the knife, which she wields with strength and sensitivity. Her work, at once textured, energetic, and sensitive, reflects a quest for light, movement, and emotion.
Sabine Kalka, twice awarded by the City of Pau (2015 and 2018), saw her work “Deportation" included in the collections of the Museum of Resistance and Deportation. Another award-winning work depicts Place Clémenceau in Pau.
Present in several group and solo exhibitions, she continues today a committed, sincere, and generous creative work. Each painting becomes for her a space of expression, a dialogue between reality and reverie.
