Tricia Lorach

I was born and grew up in Paris where I currently live and work. Because my father was a lawyer, he had always wanted me to become a lawyer; I therefore did obtain my Master in law (Private Law), but also used such credentials to eventually obtain my Master in Fine Arts. I knew becoming an artist wouldn't be straightforward, yet I still decided to follow that dream.
Post graduation, I was given the opportunity to travel in many parts of the world ( USA, Australia, the Caribbean, Polynesia, Europe, to name a few), and those trips still influence my work today. For as long as I can remember, I have always been very fond of drawing and painting. I have made it a habit of letting my unconscious work for me, guide me, and I am always surprised myself by the results. I believe that my paintings or drawings are very different from one another, as they are autobiographical and related to my moods. Some are gestural and others are much calmer. In terms of external influences and inspiration, I feel very close to Bram van Velde, Nicolas de Staël, Motherwell, Helen Frankenthaler and Joan Mitchell.
Since 2011, I've been living and working in Montmartre aux Artistes, an artist estate in Paris, created in 1933 and dedicated to welcoming art...

After obtaining my Master in Law, I completed a Master in Fine Arts in 2003, under the direction of Annette Malochet, at La Sorbonne University, in Paris.
My Master's thesis was entitled "Gestures of the Body", which questioned the repetition of gestures between signifier and signified and was the source of my creative inspiration up until today.
