Shut off from the busy street outside, and the blare of honks in late afternoon traffic, Sandrine Denier sits in a studio explaining an unorthodox approach to painting.

“The Play of Painting is different from the act of painting. The act of painting is for artists, and the Play of Painting is for everybody else,” says Denier. The Frenchwoman, dressed simply in white, is now based in India, and has been interested in the activity for a decade.
