Biography
Sarah Launois

From a large family, Sarah, born under the name 'Maïer', has two triplet sisters and an older sister. Since childhood, she has been passionate about painting. She spends her free time reproducing paintings by famous artists, particularly Gauguin's women, cubist paintings, or Monet's landscapes. Her father, an amateur photographer, also introduced her to this art.

Sarah Launois initially studied cinema, photography, and art history at university. Her dream was to become a photographer. Following the upheavals brought about by digital technology in the field of photography, she decided to pursue studies at an École des Beaux Arts. There, she conducted numerous experiments in the photographic laboratory and explored nude drawing, painting, and engraving. After graduating from the École des Beaux Arts, she chose to pursue a Master's in Graphic Design at a higher education institution to broaden her knowledge of digital media and typography. During this program, she participated in an Erasmus exchange with the art school in Leipzig, where she worked on illustration and lithography. She then completed internships in various fields, including interior design and communication.

Married since 2014 to a Champagne winemaker, Julien Launois, she partners with her husband to take over the family estate and create the Champagne brand Paul Launois, named after their son. Today, she manages, with her husband, two companies and is responsible for layout, graphic design, decoration, and the creation of wines for their Champagne house. She established her workshop on the estate and decided to return to her first loves: painting and photography. Today, Sarah Launois succeeds in turning her everyday life into an artistic experiment. Multidisciplinary and self-taught, she builds her universe around Champagne and Art by combining all her skills to make her life a work of art.

Her works are not characteristic of a pictorial technique. More drawn than painted, more in motion than frozen, derived from photographed or filmed scenes, her works highlight bodies and faces in all sorts of physical or psychological states. Scribbled, sketched, invisible, fragmented, or accumulated, her bodies, faces, or scenes express an inner chaos: that of her own self and that of those she has encountered during her journeys. It is not necessarily about expressing distress, but rather a state of mind, a personality, or a feeling.

When I create, whether it's wine, a canvas, a drawing, or an interior, I want those who drink it, own it, or experience it to feel an emotion, euphoria... or a desire.
