About the artist
Isa Sator, born in 1963 in Épinay-sur-Seine, is a French painter and colorist, based in Paris and Saint-Ouen. After a career in law, she devoted herself entirely to painting. Her work rests on color as a vital force and on automatic painting, born from her dreams and laid down upon waking.

Critic Jean-Paul Gavard-Perret places her language at the crossroads of Nolde, Cocteau, Masson, and Basquiat. Her work has also been commented on by Jean-Louis Poitevin (AICA).

Notable exhibitions: Salon des Artistes Français, Paris (2004, jury selection); ADN Sator, Galerie JPHT, Paris (2015); Mille et Une Nuits, Montreuil (2016); The Great Casseroles (Les Grandes Cocottes), Sénat Orangery, Luxembourg Garden (2017); [exhibitions in the United States]; exhibition in Sardinia (January 2026); opening of her studio in Saint-Ouen (2026).

Her work has been presented and commented on internationally, notably in New York by the gallery South Art Dealer (Carly Aguilera) and in Le Petit Journal New York.
