Sol Cattino

Sol Cattino, (1996, Aubagne) lives and works in Marseille, where she graduated from the École des beaux-arts in 2020. Her painting and drawing work draws inspiration from everyday reality, whether filmed through the lens of her phone or experienced in her social interactions. Her works reflect both her obsessions and the portrait of a generation hooked on social networks and immediate pleasures.

Sol Cattino primarily uses oil paint and juggles a wide variety of formats, from immense to miniature, including unexpected forms of canvases, frames, and mounts, which break conventions and redefine the boundaries of traditional painting.

Her approach, both contemporary and unrestrained, reinvests the great artistic genres, from genre scenes to still life. These classic subjects are rendered with new energy, blending an expressive and dynamic touch with a varied palette, some shades of which evoke the colors of our contemporary, acidic, and plastic accessories.

Through her work, Sol Cattino creates icons of our time, ambivalent and hurried, which, like her painting, testify to a sincere freedom of expression, mixed with an inevitable sense of urgency.

Her work has been exhibited, among others, at the Spiaggia Libera gallery in Marseille in 2024 and 2025, at Chapelle XIV in Paris in 2021, or at the Cantini museum in 2019.
