Symbolist research in both painting and literature guided his vision of creation. Synesthesias as defined by Baudelaire in his poem “Correspondances” constitute the source to which the artist constantly returns because they take on their full meaning in an instinctive and animal perception of the universe. Trained in illustration as well as naive art in Berthine Marceau's studio, she then discovered animal art while being surprised at the restricted place given to man's best friend. Sandrine is insatiably curious about knowledge and her quest also questions Buddhism, quantum physics, Greek philosophy, but it is ultimately the dog that leads her.

The choice of various supports, in particular recycled materials such as wood, MDF, cardboard or books, is part of the artist's artistic approach both by the opportunity to place the guide dog everywhere (painting on furniture and discarded books, for example) only by the desire to harm nature as little as possible. This means working with acrylic paint, but the artist is continuing her search for durable vegetable colors of artistic quality.

The subject, the dog, is always represented in a realistic or even hyper-realistic way because he is the fruit of long observation and because he is the bearer of the message. The accent is placed on the expressiveness of his gaze and on the movement of his coat, real threads linking the observer to the vegetable kingdom. The work of the texture in relief evokes the roughness of the mineral and the rigor of a natural environment sometimes perceived as hostile.

The background can be more abstract because it does not arise from observation but from visualizations acquired in animal communication or intuitive vision. The artist thus attempts to domesticate the mind through intuition and sensory perception.

Magnetized by the gaze of the dog, the observer is invited to let himself be carried away by the softness of his curves and his coat to glide imperceptibly towards the plant world. Following the path from one canvas to another, he will be able to explore the world with the dog's senses and leave enriched with a double knowledge: by finding his animal, he will have found himself. He will have learned to fully live the moment and will be eternally grateful to his dog.
