The artist
Christian Roy
Quebec
Water, mirror of my soul; determining element of my own identity. The blue color catches the eye, the subject arouses a feeling and the subtle details animate the discussions.
This receptivity has always been my backstory. They intertwine with my emotions and fuel my artistic abilities. I question, I observe, I criticize, I adapt myself... Creation is part of my life; the arts have always had a special place in my heart
Just like water, there is no beginning or end. Just the joy of mixing colors! My brushes slide and reveal works evoking serenity. Authentic reflection of my seaside observations, sweet memory of my nine-month sailboat journey to the Bahamas. A sharing of my introspection following this decisive navigation.
The balance of shapes and colors is the basis of my work. The quality of my compositions has developed over my presentations as a graphic designer. Acrylic is the medium I use. The short drying time requires short and well-controlled interventions. I find this same notion in navigation where you have to think quickly and adapt quickly.
Painting the sea and sailboats, my freedom!
