SANDRINE  JARROSSON
 

Graduated from the Charpentier Academy in Paris, I worked as a graphic designer and then as a decorator. After a few years in the USA, I returned to painting, my first love, starting with watercolor. Oil painting then became a natural choice for me; I painted Jars, circles, femininity, an inner search. Upon arriving in the Basque Country in 2005, abstract painting became an infinite field of exploration. I chose to dedicate myself fully to painting and make a living from it.

Life has shown me the way, that of my own essence. And this path has become my way to this work, painting. Painting to transcend my emotions... Freedom, the infinite possibilities are my guides. Oil is a wonderful material that allows me to bring colors to life and to translate the light which remains for me the key element of each creation. The practice of Tao has transformed my approach to painting and has given me a new energy that I use in my creative approach. Transmitting and providing an emotion, Revealing the invisible. The axis of my work in two words: Light, and movement through matter. I am an alchemist of the living! The artist is for me a bridge between two worlds.

The artist's workshop is a sacred space for me. The atmosphere and the light that emanate from it inspire me and allow me to work there serenely. I love being there, and when I start a new canvas, it is an intense moment that fills me with joy! The Basque Country is a very important environment in the fulfillment of my work. The sea and the mountains nourish my imagination. My inspiration mainly comes from my breathing and my intuition. Each new canvas is an unknown space where only my gesture and my hand guide me.
