About Alex-Sandrine
L'Atelier
Alex-Sandrine builds her paintings the way time builds surfaces — through layering, pressure, and the slow revelation of what lies beneath. Plaster, pigment, collage, gold leaf. Each canvas is both excavation and construction: a surface worked until it holds the full history of its own making.
Her palette moves between extremes. The deep, absorbing blacks of nocturnal matter. The luminous creams and golds of something barely born. Between them, a recurring threshold — that thin seam where two worlds press against each other and gold appears, not as ornament, but as evidence.
She works without a destination. She begins with a feeling she cannot yet name, and follows the material until something true surfaces. The forms are never planned. They arrive — fragments, standing stones, a presence in the warmth, an ember in the dark — and she recognizes them when they do.
Each painting carries a single word as its name. A threshold, not a title.
