Description from the seller
Description of the work
Work by Sandra Fontenas, French visual artist, born 1973 in La Rochelle.
Title: Memory Has a Face
Year of creation: 2024
Year of printing: 2026
Process & technique:
Professional photo lab printing, on Fujicolor Crystal Archive Supreme Lustre 220 g/m² silver-halide paper.
Created with the aid of digital software and the generative AI software Midjourney, based on textual descriptions only; no reference image was imported into the creation process.
Edition: 1/30 — limited edition of 30 copies.
Each print is hand-signed by the artist and numbered on the back, guaranteeing authenticity and traceability of the work within the limited edition.
Provenance: Direct sale by the artist. Sandra is also represented by WeAreNewComers (Paris) and Desyre.ai (Dubai & Germany), and continuously exhibits at Galerie ADOR Experience (Île de Ré, France).
Documentation: Certificate of authenticity included, available in paper version or by email.
Condition: Excellent condition.
Framing: Unframed — ready to frame. The artist recommends a presentation with a wide, or even extra-wide mat, which gives the image additional depth and breathing space. This suggestion remains, of course, optional — the work adapts to all presentation choices.
Format: 50 × 40 cm.
Shipping: Professional packaging with non-shedding cotton gloves — worldwide shipping.
About the artist
It is first through photography that Sandra reveals the need to create. By manipulating her images as support and medium, she brings forth works that reside between reality and imagination.
Fascinated by the artistic direction possibilities offered by artificial intelligence, her approach remains instinctive and emotional. She guides and shapes AI as a material: selecting, mixing, kneading descriptions, keywords, iterations and parameters, until obtaining the exact shot of her own imagination.
Thus, if the photographer captures the present moment of a reality, Sandra — the IA-gramme — captures a moment from her imagination, translated into reality by the generated image.
Her style is recognizable in the play she makes with blurring the boundaries: between reality and imagination, between photography and IA-graphy, between the masculine and the feminine. Love, melancholy, identity and the intimate are at the heart of creations she presents with sensuality and lyricism.
