Born in Levis, Quebec, I've lived in different parts of Canada and am now lining in Boucherville, Quebec where I have my Workshop/Gallery.
I thrive in expressing the beauty of life through my art by painting abstract and semi-abstract art, urban scenes, musicians, dancers and sports.
My style is of contemporary revival, a distinctive mixture of abstract and figurative. it has an emotional touch which emerges from capturing the dynamic of the moment, or inspired by my own life experiences. I have been pushing for excellence and originality by slowly and intensively mastering my art for three long decades.
I have worked extensively at mastering oils, watercolours, inks, charcoal, oil and, yes, coffee! Watercolours have helped me develop an ability to work with momentum - as they dry so quickly! An intensive 10-year study of figurative art has bought me to a self-taught study of acrylic painting, bringing me to acquire spontaneity. I have developped my own figurative and abstract styles where each canvas is an impulsive challenge. I amalgamate pigments with spatulas and brushes in intense movements, layering them on canvas. I am particularly fond of red copper shades!
My customed paintings are modern, large format. I create them for individuals or businesses.
My collections can be seen in all parts of Canada, France, USA, Lebanon and Japan. I’ve enjoyed commissioning historical frescos for a Montreal polyclinic, City Halls, a School, Societies and Art Centers. My art has been exposed in fine arts galleries in Montreal and numerous Quebec cities, as well as museums, cultural centers, libraries, symposiums and solo exhibitions.
I have been selected to create a historic fresco for the 50th anniversary of one of the oldest Secondary Schools here, De Mortagne.
Selected by the Corporation for the 350th of Boucherville, my fresco has a permanent installation in front of the City’s Multifunctionnal Centre, and also for the City of Boucherville for "Les Essais" (some sort of 'Dragon's Den), linking art and business,
Selected "FAVOURITE OF THE PUBLIC", different times at Art Symposiums, in Quebec.
