Sandra Lavall

Sandra Lavall (b. 1974, Bad Kreuznach, Germany). Since childhood she has had a passion for painting, which gives her the opportunity to express her fantasies, feelings and ideas with colors and shapes. Diving into the depths of creativity gives her immense inner peace and balance. In school, art was her favorite subject. She would get straight A's and her teachers encouraged her to attend art school. A shock to her parents because "You live for art, but you can't live off art." Sandra then pursued a commercial apprenticeship and worked for many years in a pharmaceutical company. Art has always been her faithful and hidden companion. But the time has come to bring it out into the open again. There are no limits to her creativity. Live her art and she will be able to live off of it. TOXIC THUNDERSTORM is a work that in its simplicity allows the viewer to immerse himself in an almost surreal atmosphere. One looks up and sees the sky take on shades of green and purple, as if precisely it were a toxic cloud, or rather, a toxic thunderstorm. One may wonder if this toxicity did not allow the artist to fall asleep and wake up as a new person. Ready to take on new challenges and devote himself to his art. Very often, indeed, it takes a clean break to decide to start again. These wave-motion clouds drag us metaphorically into a world where one is unable to master outside influences. This toxic arrogance Sandra Lavall has managed to defeat.
