URSULA DELAROCHE-VERNET
“It’s fascinating how art and music spark creativity differently for each of us. For me, it’s the tempo of music that fuels my work, while for the musician, it’s the texture of art that fuels hers.”
Born in Paris in 1975, Ursula descends from two distinguished French artist families of the 18th and 19th centuries, carrying a deep creative lineage into the present. Growing up in Munich, Germany, she explored the early 90s Graffiti and Techno-Music era with photography and contributed as an accredited TV-Journalist to television productions, blending visual storytelling with experimentation. Later, she co-founded a VR/AR startup in Paris, extending her artistic vision into new technological frontiers and continuing to merge art with the ever-evolving digital canvas.
Her work blends digital and physical media to translate sound, color, and form into textured compositions. Sustainability is central to her process; using recycled materials, she celebrates both the spontaneity of creation and the serendipity of imperfection.
Based in Los Angeles, Ursula’s art bridges cultures and continents. She continues to expand her language of creation, from photography and video, to mixed-media and painting.
Her work fuses intensity, curiosity and audacity, a dynamic interplay of heritage, experimentation, and playful transformation.

Horace Vernet’s daughter Louise married Paul Delaroche (1797-1856) who became famous in Europe for his melodramatic depictions that often portrayed subjects from English and French history.
Carle Vernet (1758-1835) was in his own time known primarily as an exceptional painter of horses in full movement, either racing, hunting or in cavalry portraits. Vernet received a conventional artistic education from his father, Claude-Joseph Vernet. In 1782 he won the highly coveted Prix de Rome, and in 1808 Napoleon awarded him the Legion of Honor for one of his battle scenes
Claude-Joseph Vernet (1714-1789) was the leading French landscape painter (with Hubert Robert) of the later 18th century. He achieved great celebrity with his topographical paintings and serene landscapes. He was also one of the century's most accomplished painters of tempests and moonlight scenes. His works are mainly exposed in the Musée de la Marine and the Louvre, Paris, as well as museums worldwide.
