C’était un avant-midi de 1972 dans la cours d’école,
une première récréation au retour des vacances des Fêtes,
sous les doux flocons de janvier.
- Qu’as-tu reçu pour Noël ? Me demanda michel.
- J’ai eu des skis de fonds, une voiture téléguidée…
- Hé ! Savais-tu que Nadine croit encore que c’est le Père-Noël
qui nous apporte des cadeaux ? M’interrompit-il.
- Ah ouais ? répondis-je un peu inquiet.
Mais en silence, ma surprise n’était pas d’apprendre ce que croyait Nadine mais bien de réaliser que c’est ce que je croyais aussi !
Et il m’arrive encore, en regardant les doux flocons de janvier,
de réaliser qu’un enfant, quelque part,
a peut-être appris aujourd’hui, « La mort du Père-Noël ».
I was born the eighth day of November 1966 and discovers child the splendid world of the Islands of the Madeleine and his legendary beaches. And aren't these cliffs sublimes that could not have carved most talented of the artistes?ne engraved forever at the bottom of me? To look at them, I found them belles?mais after a fall in one of them caused by my temerity of child and who failed to cost me the life, I put myself to respect them, really.
Then came one day August 1980 when we settled in Rimouski. I bourlingué thereafter of Rimouski with Sherbrooke and Quebec in Vancouver before returning to Quebec in December 1996.
As far as I remember, I always adored to draw. Of course disturbed by the obligations of the life, certain periods were less creative than others. After one year and half with the cégep of Ste-Foy, I gave up a course in graphic arts in spring 1987, not finding in this field all the latitude which I sought in Art. Initially and still by pleasure, I started to paint in the middle of the Eighties.
After the test of several médiums, my preferred was quickly ink, or the Indian ink as I said at the time. I knew little by little in the years which followed acrylic ink. I add today to this medium the pastel in a regular way for softness and the fog effect which it brings to the colors sharp of my acrylic resins. Often combing great spaces, the pastel smashes my images like nothing other.
