Projects: I don' t have a strong voice, so more often I prefer to watch and listen. I can better express my feelings with music and painting. And as an artist, I find immense joy in evoking emotions and provoking thoughts in others. In my practice, I like to believe that I cultivate the spirit and the ancient knowledge of the history of painting. I am more interested in the creative process and the technique of producing a work. I tend more and more towards an old painting technique: egg tempera. Just like, I make my watercolor and tempera paints from 6 carefully chosen natural pigments, I prepare my panel in the traditional way by applying three coats of gesso to a linen canvas that I first glued with rabbit skin glue. Choosing between watercolor and tempera is not an easy decision, as each technique brings its own beauty and expressiveness. Tempera is a complex and demanding technique, but it gives me immense satisfaction to master this art. When immersed in the creative process, I feel connected to something bigger than myself. Colors come to life under my brushes and shapes take shape with each stroke. It' s a dance between my hand and my inner vision. In short, my artistic approach feeds on observation, listening and the symbiosis between music and painting. I strive to create works that simply capture the beauty of nature. Each work of art I create is an invitation to the viewer to get lost in a world of reverie and contemplation.

Alice and the Rabbit in egg tempera on linen panel, 36x24 in.. I imagined this version of Alice in Wonderland, following the meeting of a girl and her little rabbit in a park near my home . I created the whole scene with elements and landscapes from the city where I live, Montreal. I can say that I do " urban figurative fantasy" .
