Art & Patients - Servier

EDITO

In this second edition of Art and Patients (formerly Art in Saclay), we reaffirm our belief in art as a powerful bridge between lived experience and collective understanding. Through original collaborations and the voices of patient artists, each work unveils a unique dialogue – intimate yet universal- between illness, resilience, and creation. These pieces do more than move us; they bear witness. They remind us that healing is not only clinical, but also emotional, imaginative, and profoundly human, echoing Servier’s values: daring to innovate, caring deeply, growing by sharing, and committing to succeed together.

Different artworks are on display across our sites this year.

At the crossroads of art and science, Beyond the Diagnosis is a global initiative that humanizes medicine through portraiture. Presenting 16 portraits of children living with rare pediatric neurological diseases, this collective invites viewers to look past symptoms and see the stories, dignity, and individuality of each child. First unveiled at Brown University’s Alpert Medical School, the project has since traveled to leading institutions including the National Institutes of Health, Harvard Medical School, and the Food and Drug Administration. Featured in The Lancet, CBS Sunday Morning, and the Boston Globe, Beyond the Diagnosis raises awareness, fosters inclusivity, and transforms the way the medical world connects with the human experience of illness.

Andrea Ruano is a multi-media artist, cancer survivor, and activist whose work gives voice to resilience. Diagnosed with Ewing’s sarcoma at age 15, she faced a long and complex treatment journey, including the loss of a limb. Through art, she transformed trauma into creative force, offering a powerful perspective on survival, identity, and renewal. Her practice blends personal storytelling with advocacy, challenging perceptions of illness and disability while promoting the rights of cancer survivors. Honest, bold, and deeply moving, Andrea’s work invites us to see beauty not in spite of adversity, but through it.
