The happiness that I feel since childhood from getting in touch with nature and observing animals has led me to make them my primary sources of inspiration. Today, painting wildlife allows me to stay connected to this magnificent wilderness.

 

I was able to discover and evolve into hyperrealism with Jules Bouchard, a Quebec artist and Robert Bateman, a great Canadian master in wildlife art. It is in this movement that my artistic approach and my gestures take their full meaning. I use acrylic as a medium because of its vibrant colors and also because it dries quickly. First the drawing, then I start the shapes with earth colors, add contrasts and light, and apply fine details with small brushes. I work by applying several layers of transparent acrylic that I have diluted with glazing mediums.
