Marie-Christine Giroux

Painter from the Quebec area, I was born in the 1980s. I learned to paint through various private classes taken over several years while a teenager. I immediately fell in love with the unique smell of paint, the soft brushes and the play of colors. Painting became an outlet, a way to express myself at my own rhythm through this art.

Then, life continued and went on and I stopped painting. During several years, I did not yearn, nor did I had the time to paint. And suddenly, I had a burst of creativity, this intense need to fill a canvas full of colors that came back in force. Although in a different way. While I used to reproduce pictures, now I was being led by my inspiration, my feelings, by whom I am. Without constraints nor roles to play. My paintings are now leaning toward abstract, often inspired by nature or my personal experiences. I express my point of view, which may be a bit naive, on life. My joy and wonders for all the little happiness in life, as well as the bigger ones. It is this freedom and gentleness that I wish to share as an artist.
