Portraits exploration around the bar codes being a vehicle for our identity voice, belief jail cell and dictatorship for our worth.
DRAFTS & STUDIES
Training of sketching the human body and facial features with a live model. A great way to practice applying anatomy rules real fast and catching the essence of a pose instead of all the details. The best learning experience for choosing what’s important for our personal artistic lense.
Experiments with colors, different paint brands, textures, color mixes and plays on harmony, contrast and balance ratio, brush movements, gesture, creative composition and shapes.
Light studies and experiments on portraits as well as animals. Light is where an artwork is birthed as without it we cannot see anything. It brings clarity, textures, atmosphere, emotions and even colors.
The very first steps and exploration to make one idea come to life. Rough sketches and tests that may or may not become a final piece.

Even though I am not proud of all the works I did in the beginning, those were the stepping stones for the journey that brought me here. It’s important to remember where we come from and how much growth we’ve experienced.
A contract to draw from the rehearsals of an outdoor and multidisciplinary show about the history of a national park in Quebec, status that was fought hard to get in order to protect the river, the animal life and flora. The river itself was given voice through a feminine character.
All made for a dear friend who used these artworks for album cover, show poster, banner, etc. There’s a bit of my style but also of his as it has to hold his own voice, style and energy.
Original portrait creations and experiementations in which I explore the coexistence of opposites state of the heart and mind which speaks of complex human emotions that can rarely hold their meanings into one singular word.
