“The Rising Sun” oil on canvas, 10” x 10”
I was born in Montreal, Canada and as a child, I always dreamed of creating.
“Winter Sky” oil on canvas, 24” x 24”
I was fortunate enough to grow up in a world surrounded by arts. I started drawing when I was very young and I explored different forms of artistic expression in visual arts.
“Gloria” oil on canvas, 36” x 30”
I studied graphic design and worked in this profession for fifteen years. It gave me the opportunity to develop my creative sense, and to stay in the art world. I really enjoyed most of those years working in this industry and learned a lot about design and organization, but I needed more freedom, and wanted to express myself without constraint, creating from my inner spirit.
“Light of Life” oil on canvas, 30” x 30”
I had the opportunity to attend Impressionist painting workshops in Canada and in Paris, France. After this journey, I became aware of the deep need to express myself with oil painting.
“Dance Little Sky” oil on canvas, 16” x 16”
Every painting is a journey of discovery. My aim is to communicate the emotion of the moment.
“Raisonnance – Reasoning” oil on canvas, 24” x 20”
Throughout my life, I have always been inspired by the beauty of nature. Nature speaks to me with serenity. She invites me to find peace and contemplate the wonder of this world in which we live.
“Oraison – Prayer” oil on canvas, 10” x 10”
I also seek to convey the fragility of the environment while expressing its immensity.
“Le Sommet – The Summit” oil on canvas, 48” x 48”
I paint contemporary semi-abstract landscapes inspired by my journey and my travels. My works are an interpretation of my inner gaze, like a pictorial dream. I like to convey a serene atmosphere to create enigmatic vistas.
“L’aube – Dawn” oil and China ink on canvas, 12” x 12”
I paint in oils and occasionally incorporate India ink which I apply with a spatula in layered layers. My technique creates vaporous effects where I let abstraction and figuration rub shoulders. I play with the light, the contrast and the dynamism of the colors.
“Rivage Lointain – Distant Shore” oil and China ink on canvas, 12” x 12”
This allows me, with hindsight from the easel, to see what needs to be revealed.
