Diane Couture

I am a self-taught painter, born in Montreal and currently residing in Quebec City, where my artistic journey began in my childhood. Drawing has always been with me, and it is only natural that visual art became an essential part of my life. With a degree in presentation aesthetics, it was through painting that I felt a deep connection, allowing me to explore imaginary worlds. However, the turmoil of life led me to a period of introspection, which quickly became an endless source of inspiration.

My artistic approach oscillates between graphic design and color, promoting a contemporary minimalist style. I always begin with a white canvas, where I let my imagination run free to create a whimsical scene. Fluid acrylics become my tool for playing with transparency. I layer the colors, one over the other, creating works where lightness and transparency intertwine, with intricate details like pointillism and pixels. My trees, the central subject of my work, reflect a personal journey, a deep connection to nature. They speak to me and inspire me, becoming metaphors for the beauty of difference. Through my works, I seek to convey a visual poetry, a purified landscape where chromatic sobriety and simplicity of gesture reveal great freedom. The essence is there, without excess, and each piece invites the viewer to discover a profound and sincere beauty.
