About the Artist
Gabrielle is a self-taught painter from Drummondville. She studied fields related to the arts, such as architecture and interior design. Art has been a part of her life since a young age, and since 2019, she has chosen art as her vocation. Recently becoming a mother at the end of 2023, she is slowly picking up her brushes again.
The essence of her creativity
The artist is primarily inspired by the beauty of life in her compositions: portraits, animals, and nature. Through her art, she aims to convey a sense of lightness, self-confidence, and escapism. Her preferred subject focuses on the representation of confident women with strong character. Capturing feminine beauty through her art is a source of artistic fulfillment.
She works with mixed media, often combined with collage. This allows her to stimulate her expressive side and convey her emotions in a more dramatic way, while creating original compositions that distance themselves from the more traditional methods of figurative representation.
Intuition plays an important role in her creative process. She typically begins her works with an abstract and energetic background, adding various marks that will later inspire the subject of the painting. Her intention is to find the perfect balance between abstraction, graphic elements, and figuration.
