Existential Vertigo and Pop Culture
A child of Generation X, Sophie-Gaëlle Martin, or Sofigael M., is a French visual artist, painter, and illustrator.
Her surrealist oil paintings, influenced by the design and visual codes of the 1970s and 1980s, convey the existential vertigo and silent tension of moments that envelop tragedy. The artist captures the moments of uncertainty before the tipping point, revealing the fragility of these deceptively peaceful transitional periods and their illusory innocence.
Tangy worlds on the Edge
Her bittersweet visual narratives, drawn with precise lines and intense, contrasting colors, portray disillusioned characters whose haunted expressions hint at adventures that were no doubt tragic.


Resilient, her heroines and heroes still display, despite adversity, a certain defiant and sexy edge reminiscent of the late 20th-century “No Future” spirit.
Our world is falling apart, danger is lurking, disaster is imminent, tragedy is brewing. We are on the brink of plunging into the unknown.
"Nothing will ever be the same again. "
Behind the inner drama or radical tragedy lies the loss of our bearings, our familiar world , and the transition to an uncertain elsewhere .
