Sophie Valette

Sophie Valette is a French artist, who has had a true passion for all types of art, since her childhood.

After working in the world of fashion, she decided to devote herself to painting. She took lessons in different studios (engraving, life sculpture, painting) and achieved her masters in art history. She then began a more personal research. Fascinated by cave paintings, she mixed acrylic, pigments and binders to portray intimate images on canvas, right out from her imagination.

Sophie Valette has many inspirations, the key ones being Basquiat, Motherwell, Tapiès. Like them, she sees painting as a decisive manner to commit and find her unique and personal expression, right out from her personal life.

Between lyrism and pure abstraction, Vallette's work has surprising power, all the while remaining subtle in a harmonious manner.
