About His Art

I am a classical, true-to-life painter who uses modern materials and techniques to render my vision. My work ranges from portraits and poetic images to landscapes, but my preferred subject has always been people. I am a French Canadian from Acadian culture, born in Atlantic Canada.
I moved to Europe in the year 2000.

I make an effort to be contemporary, using my daily life and life experiences as inspiration for my poetic or magical realism images. I believe that an artist/painter should also be a poet.

In my early twenties, following the trend of the era, I also worked with different media: writing, performance art, and film. In the early eighties I published a book of poetry; some of my texts were published in national publications and read on national Canadian radio, but I never stopped drawing. In my thirties I returned to painting, focusing exclusively on figure (narrative) and portraiture.

Having explored numerous techniques, I have finally opted for acrylic as my preferred medium. I find that acrylic is the most suitable material for working in glazes; it has properties of its own that no other medium has, and a versatility that allows almost anything.

All my work is painted by natural north-east light with the finest acrylic on either wood panels, paper boards or canvas. My palette consists of yellow, red and blue; warm and cold. I seldom use pre-mixed colors. I always start with a drawing. Drawing was my first love. Since I am a professional picture framer, I frame my most important work myself with mouldings that I design myself. This way I can control the finished look. My paintings are sold ready to hang on a wall and are guaranteed for life.
