“We must begin by experiencing what we want to express.” Vincent Van Gogh
I mainly paint abstract works, but I sometimes allow myself to venture into figurative art when an idea calls for a more precise image.
My work arises from mental images that impose themselves on me and persist until they find their place on a canvas. They may take the form of colours, marks or textures, but also of feelings, memories or wounds. Whether abstract or figurative, each painting gives form to what lingers within me.
My artistic approach centres on traces and memory. Not as an exploration of the legacy of our distant ancestors, but as a quest for our own imprint: the one that our history, our experiences and the world around us leave within us.
I am interested in what constitutes us at our core: the marks—often invisible—left by childhood, encounters, relationships and events, but also by a landscape, a light, a place or a moment that has deeply moved us. All these experiences, big or small, happy or painful, are imprinted within us and help to shape the way we exist in the world.
Through my painting, I seek to make these inner imprints perceptible, to bring to the surface what remains within us and continues, sometimes long afterwards, to engage in a dialogue with the present.

Biography
-
“The discipline of art requires freedom.” Stanislaw Jerzy Lec , Polish poet.
Laure-Anne SARRON is an artist born in Paris, where she studied communication. Having started her career in the advertising industry, she developed a keen sense of visual expression and aesthetics. After several years in this sector, she decided to devote herself entirely to art, joining various studios, resuming her studies at the Beaux-Arts de Paris (NABA) and studying at the London Art College, where she graduated with a degree in drawing and painting, with distinction.
In 2026, she will represent France as an artistic ambassador at the 9th edition of Art Connects Women in Dubai, postponed to November 2026, curated by ZeeArts Gallery and under the patronage of UNESCO.
She received the Woman Art Award (Musa International) for her participation in international exhibitions in London in 2025 and Milan in 2026, as part of the Woman Essence project, which highlights the commitment and creativity of women artists in the field of contemporary art.
She also participates in international curatorial projects, notably ‘Artist on the French Riviera 2025’ and ‘Artist in Art History 2026’ (Fondation Effetto Arte, Nice), resulting in publications in contemporary art catalogues.
She is also passionate about photography, which she has been developing alongside her other work, refining it as a source of inspiration for her art.
Art has always been a part of her life from a very young age. Fascinated by colours, shapes and textures, she has explored various artistic techniques to express her vision of the world. Her travels have been an inexhaustible source of inspiration, feeding her imagination and enriching her creative world. Each new destination offers her the opportunity to explore new artistic horizons and discover fresh perspectives. The landscapes, nature, cultures and encounters experienced during her travels are reflected in each of her works, offering a unique and authentic perspective on the world around her. -
“To paint is to make appear an image which is not that of the natural appearance of things, but which has the force of reality.” Raoul Dufy
Above all, Laure-Anne seeks to preserve her spirit of freedom. She experiments with a variety of techniques and tackles diverse subjects, determined not to confine herself to any specific style or artistic genre. Her artistic approach is resolutely eclectic, blending influences and inspirations to create unique and distinctive works. Curious and versatile, her approach is characterised by experimentation. She constantly seeks to push the boundaries of her art and explore new avenues.
She works mainly in oils, a technique that allows her to explore a different kind of time: that of layering, depth and the slow transformation of colour relationships. At the same time, she uses acrylics, the speed of which encourages a more direct relationship with the artist’s gesture and decision-making.Through her paintings, she strives to capture the very essence of emotions and her experiences. Each canvas reflects a moment in life, an encounter, an intense feeling. Her colour palette is rich and vibrant, reflecting the diversity and complexity of the world around us. Based on her photographs—the result of careful observation and a desire to convey her sensibility—her works are an invitation to travel, a window onto enchanting landscapes and atmospheres.
Beyond this artistic practice, she is driven by a perpetual quest for meaning and beauty.
Her practice thus forms part of an exploration of colour as a sensory experience, in which painting becomes less a space for representation and more a place to be experienced.
