Born in 1964 in Paris from a family of artists and architects, I studied Architecture at the Beaux Art.In 2000, I have moved to London with my husband and son and my architectural practice took on another dimension. Today I am a painter. Finally, I have reached the equilibrium between my architect foundation and visual aspiration. Through sculpting my paints, I construct my visual spaces from inside, filling them with passion and energy.This visual 'building' allows me to breath, feel and reflect on human condition in a deeply personal yet directed ways.

TESTIMONY by Kevin Geary (artist, writer)

When I first saw Lorraine Fossi's work, I was immediately stuck by two things; one, her great sense of color, and two, her excellent sense of composition. Her art displays an arresting quality that invites further inspection. When you come to see and realize that her paintings are not just pure abstract works, but about the sea, one is struck by the command and knowledge she possesses of the subject. Anyone who has sailed the sea, looked upon it, or gone through a storm on the sea, will recognize elements that she has managed to convey. 



Many abstract artists today fail utterly to keep and hold your attention. Their work is decorative at best, and dismal in terms of its power to hold your attention and invite you in to see more each time you look at the work. Lorraine Fossi's absolute assurance of composition (a rarity, but necessity, with good abstract painting) ensures the viewer a thoroughly rewarding experience, and works that reward viewing many times.

She is an outstanding artist.
