“Printemps” Oil, 20” x 20”
When I was in elementary school, I had a young friend whose father taught the arts. She had everything she needed to tinker, paint and collage.
“Citizen vintage” Oil, 48” x 36”
We spent hours creating. I think I was born to create. I start drawing very early and took watercolour classes at the age of eleven.
“Ville de mer” Oil, 36” x 24”
At fifteen, I decide to take fine art classes, including drawing, studies of tones, oil painting and classes that followed the style of the great masters. In high school, I took photography courses. I wanted to master as many techniques as I could so I would be freer to express the images I saw in my mind.
“Ma tasse de thé” Oil, 48” x 36”
I then began the work of developing my own language through the visual arts—my personal touch, my interpretation of the subjects that attract me.
“New York, toujours” Oil, 30” x 40”
I first worked on portraits. Then came the period of flowers. It is during the flower period that I learned to work with spatulas and other tools.
“Fenêtre urbaine” Oil, 17” x 30”
I love music and the hustle and bustle of cities. Architecture and my natural body language moves me more towards the lines, the horizontals and verticals, of cities.
“Rivebois” Oil, 24” x 60”
I spend a lot of time interpreting the imagery of cities. I work to create a rendering that is free, expressive and tending towards impressionism, full of energy, movement and color.
“Blue note” Oil, 30” x 24”
I am drawn to almost always focus on my cityscapes, but I give myself the freedom to delve into other subjects, such as boats at sea and landscape.
“Aux reflets de cuivre” Oil, 40” x 20”
I like to emphasize strong contrasts. Most of all, I like my image to convey a feeling.
“Trésor d’Italie” Oil, 40” x 30”
Whether it’s the vibe of the city during the day, its calm in the morning or its energized night life, or the quiet beauty of the seaside, of the boats, or even all the splendor of my imaginary fantasy worlds inspired by video games, I like to create a scene that transports my audience to another world.
