Mecteau

From an early age, Michel Mecteau dreamed of becoming a painter. A promising start led to several awards for his works and drawings. In 1966, he enrolled in architecture at the CÉGEP de Trois-Rivières. In the 70s, he worked as a cartoonist and comic strip artist for the Nouvelliste de Trois-Rivières, and enrolled in the Graphic Arts program in Montreal.

He takes part in numerous symposia across Quebec, most notably in St-Rose de Laval and Villages en couleur in L'Anse St-Jean/Petit Saguenay. Michel Mecteau paints in many parts of Quebec, but he prefers the Saguenay and Charlevoix regions, where typical small villages blend with high, rugged mountains and majestic rivers wind their way through basic valleys. His paintings impress with their vivid, magnificent and harmonious colors, with which he waltzes the light.
