Artist Statement:
ARTISTIC STATEMENT
I studied fine arts at the
University Of Québec In
Montréal (1986-1991). I was
involved in various artistic
activities in which I took a
strong stand against
injustice, poverty, and social
exclusion. My work took shape
using different methods of
research and observation. I
articulated my artistic
approach inspired by
existential human sufferings.
I created portraits of
individuals with unusual
physical traits, expressions,
deformities, attitudes...
These characters inspired me
to use colour in contrasts and
splashes. My aim was to
express the life animating the
characters by an internal
light.
For my installations, I used a
physical space to transpose
socio-political situations and
dramatic events. With the
barest resources, my intention
was to stimulate the interest
of the viewer.
My material supplies:
Acrylic, rubbish, wood, metal,
rust, polystyrene panels,
personal objects, used
clothing, etc.
In 1995, I realized that I had
reached limits with my
artistic approach. I decided
to have a period of
questioning with the aim of
going further in my research
in terms of intention and
expression. This process
enabled me to explore, to
experiment with different
materials and to reposition
myself using sculpture as my
main form of expression.
