Studentenwerk Dresden

Sophie de la Vaissière began drawing during her engineering studies. From the beginning, she focused mainly on bodies and faces, trying to capture the "liveliness" of the figures with acrylic, ink, watercolor and charcoal.

During her second degree in human medicine, drawing became a balance and complement to her studies, "There is no concept or message in my paintings, my works are rather studies and a search, a complement to the study of medicine, which, after all, deals with science and knowledge about life. With art I try to approach the sensitive side of life. I let my body work freely, my hand, and both let themselves be shaped by the liveliness of the model. I don't think in the process - and that's how an image is created."

Sophie de la Vaissière graduated from a German-French scientific baccalaureate in Berlin in 2009 and went on to earn her Master of Science degree from ESPCI (Engineering School of Physics, Chemistry and Biology) Paris in 2014. She has been studying human medicine at the TU Dresden since 2019.
