Technique: Acrylic and Oil Pastel

Sophie Paquet was born in Sherbrooke in 1963. From an early age, she is strongly attracted by the arts community, a passion that is transmitted to her by her father, who was an architect decorator and a great art lover. This initial contact having made its way, the young woman decided to enroll in visual arts at Cégep de Ste-Foy. She will then complete her visual arts training at Laval University. With a degree in hand, she decided to perfect her knowledge by pursuing studies in graphic design. Here many knowledge in the field of visual arts led him very early to find his favorite mediums, which are acrylic and oil pastel.

Here style is clearly instinctive and spontaneous. The artist takes great pleasure in indulging in the creativity of the moment and being transported to a world of abounding colors. With energy and dynamism, the passion of the creation is felt with each stroke of the brush and the enthusiastic movements make the flowers dance with radiance and joie de vivre. Although very spontaneous, the works of Sophie Paquet are the fruit of a long research where the direction of the composition and the balance of the motives are omnipresent. Through his paintings, we definitely feel his love for art and creation that is communicated by a fresh light, filled with a youth in a constant renewal.
