Silvère Jarrosson

"A still dancer, a painter in motion

Born in Paris in 1993, Silvère Jarrosson entered the Paris Opéra dance school at the age of 10. In 2011, a serious injury forced him to abandon his dance career for good.

Painting then offered the artist another means of creating through movement: he developed a body of work inspired by his trial and error and technical research, driven by an imagination made up of dance steps and choreography.

In November 2023, one of his works joined the permanent collections of the Paris Opera.
