Renée Levi (Sarah Burkhalter)

Renée Levi is known for her flamboyant, fast, honest, and direct painting. Trained as an architect and visual artist, she often creates monumental, installation-like works, which are always adapted to the spatial context in which they are located. In this interview, Levi talks about the origins of her artistic intention, the place she has conquered in the art world, and her visual language that gradually evolves like a quest for freedom.
