My bio

Viault Sarah

Multidisciplinary artist

Through street art, painting and immersive environments, I develop dreamlike visual universes that explore the sensitive relationships between living beings and ecosystems.

Selected Public Works

French Polynesia. France. New Zealand. United States. Peru

Trained at the Bordeaux School of Fine Arts, my career has been shaped by artistic research, ecological activism, and projects in public spaces. I favor the wall as an accessible medium that makes art inclusive and shared, transforming everyday spaces into sensory experiences open to all.

My deeply dreamlike world is rooted in exploring the interconnections between species, ecosystems, and symbolic narratives. I am particularly interested in how images can reveal the invisible links that unite life forms, as well as the fragile balances that structure biodiversity.

Through a wealth of detail, color, and references, often informed by research and insights from the life sciences, I construct hybrid visual landscapes where each element interacts with the others. The use of black light allows me to reveal hidden dimensions within the image, creating multiple levels of interpretation and evolving perceptual experiences.

I seek to create immersive spaces where wonder becomes a vector of ecological awareness, inviting us to perceive the world as an organism in perpetual interaction.

My work addresses contemporary environmental transformations by offering visions that are both sensitive and hopeful. I see art as a way to reconnect individuals emotionally to ecosystems and to encourage a more sensitive and collective perception of life.

I am a French artist based in French Polynesia, whose practice is primarily rooted in street art through large-scale interventions in public spaces. Alongside this, I develop work in painting, editions, and more recently sculpture, as part of a research into immersive visual environments.
