LES MARAÎCHERS (2019) Painting by Sam De Beauregard

Sam De Beauregard, painter and collagist, spent her childhood in Néris-les-Bains, a tourist town between the countryside and the city in France. At the age of 9, she was spotted for her poetry illustrations at school, where her precocious talents were recognized. Although they wanted to enroll her at the Beaux-Arts in Clermont-Ferrand, her parents judged that she was too young. This decision led her to trace her own artistic path, becoming her own master, faithful to her freedom to create and think.

A poet first and foremost, then a painter and sculptor, Sam expresses a story, deep emotions and raw feelings in her works. Her paintings, often inspired by poetry, are a reflection of her writings and her artistic sensibility. A member of several literary circles, she is recognized for her talent in combining words and images.

Throughout her career, Sam De Beauregard has received numerous awards, including the Public Prize for her miniatures in 1985, as well as the Athanor Prize for Poetry for her collection Roses Nouvelles à Néris-les-Bains in 1989. In 1991, she won several awards for her talents as a poet and painter, and her contribution to the defense of culture. Her frescoes and paintings, often made to order, demonstrate her ability to work in various formats, including large panels such as her family tree in relief exhibited in the churches and town halls of Durdat-Larequille.

Her unique style, mixing painting, sculpture and collages, is inspired by artists such as Giacometti, Turner, Michelangelo, and Toulouse-Lautrec. After participating in numerous exhibitions in Paris, Hérisson, and in several cities in Allier, Sam continues to showcase her art through regular exhibitions, such as the one in December 2019 at the Espace François Mitterrand in Désertines. Through each work, she seeks to awaken the imagination and touch deep emotions, inviting the viewer on an inner journey made of colors and poetry.
