Biography
Sophie-Gaëlle Martin, or Sofigael M.,
is a visual artist, painter and designer,
born in 1974 in Boulogne-sur-Mer,
on the Côte d' Opal, in France.
Sofigael M. was awarded the Luxembourg Art Prize 2024 Certificate of Artistic Merit,
for her participation in the international selection.
His artistic work is characterized by the use of bright and saturated, energetic and dynamic colors, typical of design and graphic trends of the 70s-80s.
Through oil paintings on large and medium-sized canvases with marked contrasts, Sofigael M. speaks to us about the end(s) of the world, and paints a portrait of disillusioned but resilient characters, exiled figures from an old world victim of the catastrophes it inflicted on itself.
Sofigael M. has had a passion for drawing since she was a child. As a teenager, she took classes at the local École des Beaux-Arts, as well as lessons of photography.
After five years of studies at the University of Lille in economics and business management, she moved to Paris and reconnected with graphic design and photography through a position in visual and digital communication.
Finding, moreover, in oil painting and illustration, a happy way to express his creativity and his taste for drawing, the artist resumed studies in Bachelor of Graphic and Digital Design and decided to specialize his activity in graphics and visual art.
