Anik Fortin

Born in Montreal,QC,Canada in 1970, Anik Fortin developed a passion for art at an early age. Her manual dexterity inscribes itself into dead matter, bringing it back to life. Images appear in my mind as if by magic. Then I transcribe them. Other times, images are spontaneously inscribed without my having seen them before. Time has stopped. So I try to decipher, decode. These signs that no longer belong to me. Emotional, inspired by nature and everyday life. The soul is embossed in the work. I question existence and Nature. I explore a variety of expressive materials, including pencil, pastel and ink. Around the age of twelve, she began experimenting with painting.
Voler family from the Latin word volare((to fly in the air)). The bird symbolizes the relationship between heaven and earth. In the same perspective, the bird is the figure of the soul escaping from the body. And the emotion of the spirit emerges in matter. I have the spirit, volatilicus ( who flies)
