Self-taught | An innate artistic sense

Instinctive, Sophie Ruel is a self-taught watercolor painter. Uninterested in the technique, she prefers to be driven by her intuition to develop her art. Painting in a raw and spontaneous manner with artistic gestures of her own, her work emanates pure authenticity.

Vibratory art | A vibrant energetic experience

Sophie’s inspiration is often propelled as a result of meditation. Her approach is fundamentally supported by a quest for well-being in each area of the human evolution.

Illustrator and author

She wants to play an active artist role in her community. This is why in 2018, she was the instigator of the artistic and literary project L’enfant au sac à dos. She is the author and she participates in the collective illustration of the book.

Since 2019, the SRuel signature uses an eco-design approach by delivering artwork on canvas made from recycled materials.

‘’ As a watercolorist, I have given myself the freedom to present works of art on paper, without having to depend on the framing process or the need to buy canvases. Improving the process of material recovery is my way of increasing ecological awareness and giving a deeper value to my art. '' SRuel
