Discover the contemporary work of Sandrine Belmont

As a psychologist, I work with emotions on a daily basis and it is not always easy. Painting is a way for me to calm down, to externalize emotions. After exploring the figurative for many years, I discovered abstract painting as a new world, a window open to incredible freedom and I fall asleep every night hoping that this window will never close.

Silence is both soothing and evocative of solitude. My job leads me to explore the duality between light and darkness, essential elements in the life of every human being. Through abstract painting, I express this ambivalence. I put on canvas what I aspire to, silence, calm, beauty...

Starting from a color palette and after some studies, I let myself be guided by my creative intuition, trying not to be in reflection but rather in emotion. I seek balance in the atmosphere that I wish to transmit. I would like people to interpret my work as a desire to offer both soothing emotions and opportunities for introspection.

Imbued with hypnosis and meditation that I use daily, I naturally move towards dream worlds, then saving metaphors, symbols of peace, serenity, hope through water, light etc.... I am fascinated by the way our brain seeks to give meaning to the visual experience. Even if I walk in a sometimes figurative abstraction, I am fascinated and excited by the infinite possibilities that the abstract offers. A universe opens up to me. I hope to bring with my painting emotions of peace, serenity, joy, hope: professional deformation! ... Also, my favorite themes are clearly: light, water, silence, which bring me soothing emotions filled with reflection and serenity.

Painting is like a window open to an incredible freedom and I fall asleep every night hoping that this window never closes. I don't paint only when I have time, I paint every evening when I fall asleep, every morning when my mind wakes up, every time I walk in the middle of nature or even in the middle of the city... Painting becomes a way of seeing what surrounds me and I take immense pleasure in it.
