BIOGRAPHY
I am a painter from Saguenay(Quebec) and I have been making art since I can’t remember. Following my secondary schooling in Visual Arts, and my college certificate in Arts and Letters (Cinema and Communication), I was admitted to the Bachelor of Fine Arts program at Concordia University in Montreal to study Film Animation. During my second year, I was selected for an international exchange program in San Diego, California, where I rediscover the art of painting. At the end of the program, I was awarded a scholarship from the Mel Hoppenheim School of Cinema for my excellent work.
After finishing university, I gave myself the most beautiful gift; time to perfect my art with a master in his field, one of the most influential artists of his generation in Quebec, my grandfather, Claude Grenier, graduate of the École des Beaux Arts in Quebec. Since then, I have used my grandfather’s valuable insight to guide me on my own artistic journey.
Through figurative and abstract works, my paintings are
a reflection of my travels, my surroundings, and the people who inspire me. The live model drawing classes I took during my studies in San Diego, California were illuminating and significant in my artistic approach. Still today, I am continuing to perfect the body, its curves and faces.
In each of my works, I aim to arouse the emotions and stimulate the imagination of each collector. At the same time, I strive to experiment with new techniques and push my creative boundaries to offer unique visual experiences.
Through the use of vibrant colors and rich textures, my work embodies well-being, confidence, and strength in all of its forms. In addition to mixed media canvases and watercolor illustrations, I have created a unique collection of environmentally friendly and high-quality products, which are all made in Quebec and inspired by my own pieces of work. You will find decorative cushions, t-shirts and hoodies that will excite any art lover. A wallpaper collection is also coming soon!
