Julie Painting

After her studies in graphic arts and visual communication at the Axe Sud school in Marseille, Sophie began her artistic journey in children illustration. The year 2015 marked a change in her career : she then began a new series of non-figurative canvases in oil paint. The work of color, material and composition are predominant. The artist continues today his contemporary revisitation of pointillism, this time creating a series of portraits. In these new paintings, the colors are first worked separately then stamped successively on the support one after the other, reminiscent of the screen printing method. Little by little the work takes shape, as does this effect of material and relief. Very sensitive to the work of impressionist painters, she particularly appreciates their use of light and color, as well as their pictorial touch. Finally, after living in Marseille, Sophie has now put her brushes down in Auvergne, drawing her inspiration from the land of volcanoes.
