About Sarah
Sarah Curtenaz is a French artist and entrepreneur. She defines herself as an "avant-gardist creator" and explores various forms of art. Photography is also part of her journey. She doesn't adhere to a single style; instead, her approach is free and ever-changing, much like her and life itself. Since her arrival in Tenerife in September 2023 to the end of 2024, Sarah has embraced her “blue phase,” likely influenced by the long hours she spends surfing and swimming in the ocean. This deep connection to the sea is a driving force in her creative process. She is passionate about pushing boundaries, stimulating her imagination, and challenging the norm. She paints her emotions, screams, tears, and laughter. Expressing herself through art has become a fundamental need. She loves experimenting with large formats and mixing techniques and paints, from acrylics to oils and spray. During her blue phase, Sarah Curtenaz created two collections: “NEW ERA” and “FOUR.” Both are based on blue tones, hand painting, and mixed techniques. At the beginning of 2025, color arrived. This change marks a clear evolution in her work. Her own style and movement become evident in these new, colorful paintings. The “COLORS” Collection stands as a witness to this evolution. Also in 2025, Sarah unveiled the “RE” Collection—a deeply personal project made from recycled materials, giving new life to discarded pieces. The collection is both a creative and emotional tribute to her artist friend Gaston Gil, and takes its name from the brand he created: RE—a symbol of rebirth, renewal, and respect for materials and memory. Sarah has moved away from words and feels a profound need to express herself through painting. A distinctive aspect of her practice is painting with her bare hands, even when working with oil paint. This method connects her to an ancestral memory—a knowledge from another era that feels genuine and authentic. She paints outdoors, in her studio garden, surrounded by trees, singing birds, the wind, and lizards. Most of the time, she paints in silence, barehand and barefoot, fostering a deep connection with her soul and the earth.
