Biography
Sophie-Gaëlle Martin
Sophie-Gaëlle Martin, or Sofigael M.,
is a contemporary French artist,
painter, illustrator, and poet,
living near Paris and originally
from Boulogne-sur-Mer, on the Opal Coast.
Passionate about drawing from a young age, the artist attended, during her teenage years, the courses of the School of Fine Arts in her hometown, while also training in photography.
Holder of a D.E.S.S. (Master) in Business Management and a Master's degree in Applied Administration and Economics, she worked in Paris for several years as an executive in digital communication and as an institutional photographer.
Driven by the desire to fully reconnect with artistic creation, Sophie-Gaëlle then made a turning point in her career: she resumed studies in graphic design and decided to devote herself to developing her activity as a painter.
Her work has been recognized on the international art scene: in 2025, she was both a finalist and a semi-finalist in the international painting competition TARTGET PAINTING PRIZE, in the “Imaginative & Fantasy” category.
Sofigael M. has also twice received the Certificate of Artistic Merit from the Luxembourg Art Prize, in December 2024 and more recently in December 2025, during her participations in the international competition.
Her work is also published in ArtMajeur Magazine and awarded “Editor’s Choice” on the ArtMajeur platform.
Elle est également représentée par la galerie Murmuse, qui expose des œuvres sélectionnées dans des établissements de luxe, en France et à l’international.
In April 2026, her work will be featured in the Nevadart magazine, in the section “Talents to Discover.”
