THE WALL
Sandra Guilbot, known as "Sandrot", is a French performance artist born in Marseille in 1989. She is renowned for her unique, expressive style. She enchants the public with her vibrant, life-affirming works inspired by nature. Sandrot creates her works instinctively, entirely freehand, in front of the public. She collaborates with leading nature protection associations and creates monumental works in performance for cities and museums. In 2024, her paintings were exhibited at the Musée Parcelle 473, on the Place du Général de Gaulle in Lille, at the Musée Paléo-galerie in Salignac and at the Musée d'Histoire Naturelle in Marseille. Saint-Raphaël naturally invited her to perform on the MUR as part of the "Year of the Sea" in 2025.
