Bio

Gisele Boisvert Fascinates since childhood by the color and the drawing, the peace hamlet and the refuge; she will choose normative path due to lack of encouragement from her entourage. It was not until several years later, especially through her extensive travels and visits visual arts museums, that she will rediscovered her love for art. An invitation to participe to intensive oil painting workshop will drastically change her view of life. A medium that has always attracted her and then she plunges into this universe that has delighted her instantly. It initiates figurative art according to the technique of the great Masters ( as flemish painters) and this opening to this unexplored creativity enchants it .

From them this artist surrounded herself with experienced teachers discovering new mediums and intuitive avenue. She has a delight to work with these and developing a strong attraction for mixed medias, especially inks, acrylic, encaustic, pastel, collage and colored glass painting. Her application of colors on canvas brings out different forms; mysterious and disturbing that infuse movement and direction to the pictorial work. From initial chaos comes the structure, the forms, and colors organization both refer to figuration and abstraction. Her compositions are very colorful, full of fluidity and brightness. During this quest, a story is built, a dialogue with the painting and the artist all over creative process living joy, letting go, love, but also doubt, uncertainty and fear. Exploring, improvising, advancing into nothingness in search of novelty, challenge, avoiding conformism and overcoming the control of the mind in the creative process are at the heart of her artistic approach. Her free gesture, carried by her vital energy, reveals her true authenticity, her paintings are pulsations of life or the encounter with the unknown can destabilize the viewer. Her visual exploration offer us imaginary, highly symbolic creations where movement and mystery amalgamate. Her spiritual intuitive paintings give way to the earth of her compositions very colorful, full of fluidity and brightness.
