The artist

Laurence Bélanger

Québec

Portrait of Laurence Bélanger (Élbé)

I am a visual artist based in Quebec City, and through the world of Elbé, I develop a practice rooted in exploration, playfulness, and creative freedom. No matter the artwork or project, I create to make space for imagination, intuition, and wonder. At the core of my artistic approach, I question our relationship with performance, control, and the constant pursuit of perfection. Abstract art has taught me instead to embrace exploration and celebrate the beauty that emerges from it.

In my creative process, I intentionally move along the fine line between chaos and structure, where reflection meets spontaneity. The shapes, textures, and colours I combine gradually enter into dialogue, allowing unexpected images to emerge: characters, landscapes, creatures, or imaginary three-eyed animals. Abstraction becomes a free playground where each viewer can project their own perspective and build their own story.

I create to awaken a liberated imagination and to offer luminous, sensitive spaces for pause and reflection. My work invites people to slow down, dream, and reconnect with a sense of inner freedom — a place where the childlike heart naturally takes the lead again.

Originally from Quebec City, I completed a bachelor’s degree in communications at UQÀM after spending several years in Montreal, where I worked in video production and project management within advertising agencies. After returning to Quebec City in 2021, I felt the need to reconnect with my creativity. Since then, I have been developing my artistic universe through original works, workshops, exhibitions, murals, and various creative collaborations.
