THE DANCER 16 Painting

Sabine Danzé is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice embraces painting, performance, street art, photography, and digital creation. At the core of her work lies one guiding principle: absolute freedom of gesture, technique, sensation, and emotion. Her performances, often set to electronic music, transform the act of painting into a multi-sensory experience. Using her ambidexterity, she engages her entire body in a trance-like choreography, merging movement, rhythm, and matter. As she once told French television: “I need to dance in order to paint.” Danzé favors large formats, pushing the limits of both scale and medium. Her line—sometimes incisive, sometimes ethereal—injects extraordinary dynamism into her figures, while her intense palettes combine surprising, even dissonant, associations of color charged with symbolism. Her expressive portraits and vibrant compositions captivate and unsettle, confronting viewers with piercing gazes and raw emotion. With a unique pictorial language, she reveals the human soul through color and movement. Recognized in France and abroad, Sabine Danzé has exhibited widely, and her large-scale works have entered numerous private collections, particularly in the United States.
