Biography
Sophie-Gaëlle Martin, or Sofigael M.,
is a parisian visual artist, painter and designer,
born in 1974 in Boulogne-sur-Mer,
on the Opal Coast, in France.
The artist is a finalist in the major international painting competition TARTGET PRIZE 2025.
She was also awarded the Certificate of Artistic Merit of the Luxembourg Art Prize 2024 during her participation in the international selection.
Her artistic work is characterized by the use of bright and saturated colors, energetic and dynamic, typical of the design and graphic trends of the 70s and 80s.
Through oil paintings, on large and medium format canvases, with marked contrasts, Sofigael M. speaks to us about the end(s) of the world, and paints portraits of disillusioned but resilient characters, figures exiled from an old world victim of the catastrophes it inflicted on itself.
Passionate about drawing since she was little, Sofigael M. attended classes at the School of Fine Arts in her town as a teenager, as well as photography classes.
After obtaining a Master's degree in Business Management and a Master in Economics and Management Techniques, at the University of Lille, she moved to Paris and returned to graphic design and photography by taking up a position in visual and digital communication.
Finding, moreover, in oil painting and illustration, a happy way to express her creativity and her taste for drawing, the artist resumed, in 2023, studies in a Bachelor of Graphic and Digital Design and decided to specialize her activity in graphics and visual art.
