Sandrine Lanoy

'I was born and raised in Toulouse in the south of France. After studying architecture, I worked in the decoration and fashion sector in Paris. I took courses at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris and then at the Jean Sablé school of decorative painting in Versailles. Today I am both a painter and a decorative painter. I live and work in the Paris region. I like, through the portrait, to work on the relationship between line and surface, form and background, color and light. I am interested in the limit between the real and the unreal and I like to translate and transform reality through color and composition.'
