As a contemporary portrait artist based in Montreal, Canada, my mission is to push the boundaries of realism and expressiveness. I often explore the intersection of realistic painting and mixed media, using each one in a way that complements the other. I'm interested in creating pieces that allow for a unique
experience and spark a viewer's emotional connection with the work, to elevate the physical experience of a painting. By doing so, I hope to provide a unique story for each of my works, ultimately leading to a richer and more deeply meaningful experience for the viewer.
I use Acrylics, oil glazes, collage and resin in my work. I try to juxtapose both a feeling of softness and strength in my portraits, complementary forces that interact to form something dynamic.
I approach every piece with an open mind, my technique constantly evolving.
My artwork is realistic and expressive, allowing the viewer to feel the emotion behind the piece. I use mixed media to explore and push artistic boundaries, creating unique and captivating works.
