From dancing to painting, painting while dancing. Born in Toulon in 1969, Sylvie Lauvray comes from the world of classical dance. Trained by the professors of the Paris Opera, she became professional, and evolved in several companies both classical and contemporary as a dancer but also as a choreographer. Today, Sylvie Lauvray devotes herself to teaching in the school she created. Creation is vital for her and in recent years, she has turned to this other mode of expression that is painting. She apprehends each canvas as an entrance on stage, stage fright, excitement, desire to provoke an emotion. She finds with her brushes the same sensations as when she dances, the curtain opens and the movement becomes colors. Epilepsy since she was young, Sylvie Lauvray sought to express all the "electricity" she felt during her seizures through her brushes by transcribing her feelings in color. “I needed to experiment with a new artistic language and it was towards painting that my steps turned”.
