I’m Sarah B Solanet, a Paris-born visual artist with a background in fashion and art. Painting has been with me for as long as I can remember, it is my truest form of expression, the thread that has always run beneath everything I do. I studied at Mod’Art International and earned my master’s degree in 2010. My creative journey began in 2009 on the film Coco avant Chanel, directed by Anne Fontaine, where I worked alongside Oscar-winning costume designer Catherine Leterrier to create costumes for Audrey Tautou and Marie Gillain.
After graduating, I worked as a dresser for fashion houses like Jean Paul Gaultier, Chanel, Elie Saab, and Maison Martin Margiela for seven years, eventually becoming Cara Delevingne’s personal dresser for Chanel shows. In 2012, I signed with DI Agency for modeling and began assisting stylist Guya Marini on campaigns for Globus Cashmere, S.Oliver, and L’Officiel Magazine.
In 2013, I collaborated with New York stylist Gerlan Marcel, representing her brand Gerlan Jeans at the Rendez-Vous showroom in Paris. My experience in film continued with Hello World for the school La Fémis, where I designed futuristic jewelry. Inspired by this project, I launched my own jewelry brand, Couleur Punk à L’eau, creating bold perspex pieces.
Parallel to this, I modeled for artists like sculptor Philippe Séené and figurative painter Shane Wolf, which deepened my understanding of 3D forms and color. In 2015, seeking new inspiration, my partner and I moved to a creative warehouse community in North London, where I developed my distinctive drawing style, influenced by the eclectic group of artists I lived with.
In 2017, we relocated to Brighton, where we now raise our son. These diverse experiences in fashion, cinema, and art ultimately led me back to what had always been there from the start: painting, my deepest passion, and the place where all my experiences converge into my true artistic voice.
The “B” in Sarah B Solanet is a tribute to my late grandmother Béatrice, who passed on her love for beauty and art.
