Biography
Originally from Lévis, QC, Marie-Josée embraces an instinctive and unbound artistic journey, shaped outside of traditional academic frameworks. As a passionate self-taught artist, she proves that authenticity can be a powerful creative force.
Guided by the duality of life, her work is defined by a striking interplay between black and white and vivid color. This visual dialogue becomes a poetic metaphor: shadow and light, simplicity and complexity, stillness and intensity.
In each painting, the black-and-white elements convey elegant simplicity and introspection, while the colorful side bursts with emotion, expressing the sensory richness of human experience. Together, they form a harmonious tension — a conversation between contrasts.
Her technique, combining brush and palette knife, adds unique texture and depth, inviting not only the eye but the senses. Each artwork becomes a sensory experience, drawing the viewer into an emotional journey.
Marie-Josée has taken part in numerous solo and group exhibitions, including at Galerie Misson (Chicoutimi, QC 2022–2023), Galerie Céleste (Saint-Sauveur, QC, since 2023), and Fallen Leaf Art Gallery (Canmore, Alberta, since 2024). Her work continues to captivate both art enthusiasts and critics with its expressive strength and emotional resonance.
Today, she continues her artistic path with unwavering sincerity, contributing a distinctive and deeply sensitive voice to the contemporary art landscape.
