Raphaëlle Bertran graduated from the Sorbonne (in aesthetics and philosphy of art) and the Beaux-Arts de Paris. The winner of the Alberic Rocheron painting Prize, awarded to her by the Académie Française in 2021, the same year, she was selected for the Prize of Societe Generale Art Collection, as well as the Prize of the Friends of Beaux-Arts de Paris in 2018. Her approach involves painting and video: whatever medium she chooses, her works are both nocturnal and sunny.
According to artist Marc Desgrandchamps, “These compositions seem to condense human history, a world where terror, the absurd, and life force blend into a very contemporary reflection of the world, a topicality restored from scenes borrowed from the matter of the past.”
