Benoît Paradis

Born in Montreal, I grew up with a pencil in my hand as a means of expression. Books, comics and TV cartoons fed my imagination and blackened my paper.

Studies in mechanical design followed by a career in aeronautical design didn't satiate my artistic thirst and idle imagination.

I went on to study Visual Arts at Cégep du Vieux Montréal and then Animation at Concordia University, which recognized my talent by awarding me prizes and distinctions.

Every day, I create the beauty of the world around me. My travels, my readings and a whole generation of colorist and naturalist painters are my sources of inspiration that guide my creation between urban heritage and grandiose nature.
