is a parisian visual artist, painter and designer,

on the Opal Coast, in France.
Her oil paintings, influenced by the design and visual codes of the 70s and 80s, recount the silent tension of the moments that frame the tragedy. The artist explores the moments of hesitation and the tipping points that reveal the fragility of these peaceful periods of illusory innocence.

She was also awarded the Certificate of Artistic Merit of the Luxembourg Art Prize 2024 during her participation in the international selection.
Passionnée de dessin depuis son plus jeune âge, Sophie-Gaëlle Martin a suivi, à l’adolescence, les cours de l’École des Beaux-Arts de sa ville, ainsi que des cours de photographie.
After obtaining a Master's degree in Business Management and a Master's degree in Economics 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.
