CMDR

Born in Colombia, adopted by a Rimouski family, he now lives in Quebec City. Already at an early age, he was nourished by creation. Enthralled by imaginary construction, he suspended time by experimenting with various art forms, starting with Lego blocks, then moving on to a whole range of artistic mediums: drawing, pottery, knitting, graphic design.... and finally painting!

His days are filled with both sports and the arts. In high school, he was active in the "Arts-Études" profile, experimenting with various techniques of artistic expression.

With a college diploma in graphic design, he had a deep love of art history. After some work experience as a graphic designer, he switched sectors and completed training in electricity. It was at this point that he became passionately involved in painting.

His artistic approach requires a real mastery of the mind. Channelling the mind to a precise point in order to pay homage to every detail. This rigorous work, which demands coherence between thought, the tracing hand and observation, brings him closer to the naivety and wonder of childhood.

Halfway between illustration, graphic design and painting, he takes the liberty of describing scenes of life through realistic and surrealist observation. He manually photographed movements, expressions and natural behaviors. He writes animal scenes like a cat on the prowl, preoccupied with precision and refinement of gesture. There's little scenery to highlight this descent into centeredness and serenity.

A lover of nature and wide-open spaces, he began this work on TV screen canvases, allowing light to interfere with color and giving the work a double life.

He rediscovers well-being in the act, bringing life back to a form.
