Antoine Gaber, Canadian contemporary artist and impressionist painter

Original fine art oil paintings by international Artist Gaber, inspired by Claude Monet, Renoir, and Van Gogh, includes landscapes, seascapes, still life, and floral. Motivated by the haunting beauty of nature, and the delicate interplay of light and substance. He found that impressionism explored the quality of ephemeral beauty and captured the essence of changing, fleeting visions of nature. Antoine Gaber has exhibited in several art exhibitions and his work is available on several virtual art galleries. The beginning of the millennium heralds great recognition for Gaber, as his work becomes increasingly known in Canada, the USA and sought after in Europe. Gaber has since rapidly captured the media's attention and has since made the front page of several newspapers and television shows.

As Canada's chosen artist, Gaber's displayed his work at one of the most prestigious European exhibition at the Biennale Internazionale dell'Arte Contemporanea, in Florence, Italy. Participation in the Biennale is by nomination by the International Committee of Critics. New opportunities will arise as Gaber is now listed and his art featured in the official Biennale 4th Edition Catalogue 2003 distributed to some Art Museum, and Art Galleries around the world. During the exhibition, the President of the Florence Biennale, awarded Antoine Gaber with the prestigious Prize of the "Lorenzo il Magnifico", in recognition of Gaber's artistic career.

The widely distributed Canadian Newspaper, The National Post, Investing section published an article highlighting, that Gaber's paintings' overall value increased at an annual compound rate of 38% when compared to the Standard and Poor's Market Index (S&P500) average return of 7% per year over the same period (1997-2003). This is the first publication, in which any artist has presented several years of data demonstrating the actual performance of his artwork when compared to the S&P 500.

As his talent deepens and matures, Antoine ceaselessly strives to enrich his understanding and expression of the world around him. An increasing presence on the world's artistic stage is indicative of the piercing vision that guides and shapes Gaber's ever-evolving oeuvre.
