ARTISTIC STATEMENT

Layering is central to my practice. I explore the tensions between forms, lines, and contrasts, but above all, what emerges when the layers meet. Each step retains a trace of its passage, a subtle memory. Material plays an essential role. I use brushes, spatulas, and wooden sticks, but my hands and fingers remain my preferred tools. I also prepare my own pigments from natural elements—peat, wood ash, rust—which I grind into powder. This transformation is important to me: it inscribes a sense of the land within the artwork.

 

The light of Quebec, the changing seasons, the landscapes that surround me nourish my vision. Sometimes, a personal event or an emotion becomes the starting point. Nothing is illustrated, but everything leaves an imprint, a suggestion.

I am less interested in representing than in bringing forth.

 

Each work opens up a sensitive space, an energy, a tension that each person is free to inhabit and interpret through their own sensitivity.
