When I paint, I gradually come into contact with my characters, they look at me, I smile at them, we understand each other!
A late blooming painter, Sabine experienced the revelation shortly after the birth of her second daughter. Previously a tour guide, she had to end the career which had become difficult to coordinate with family life. As Sabine already liked to devote herself to creative activities during her spare time, - especially doing “DIY” with odd objects that she found here and there – it is only natural that she decided to sign up for a painting workshop in 2012.
Meeting the Toulon painter Nicolas Benedetti, two years older than her, was crucial. Over three years, he taught her the different techniques of how to work the materials, allowing her to discover peculiar art, and thus guiding her towards the creation of her own characters and the birth of her own personal pictorial language.
The play of materials is at the heart of Sabine's practice and represents her main source of inspiration. She mixes substances to better bring out their individual and collective specificities. The painter composes her works from wood, metal, fabric, paper, sand, earth, sawdust, coffee, plaster, concrete, etc., in an ever renewed desire to give a second life to recycled materials. Afterwards, she reworks her compositions with oil or acrylic paint that she enhances with gesso to scratch it after drying. Once the background is finished, Sabine starts to create her characters who will come to inhabit the whole by giving it a resolutely original and poetic narrative.
