Orchids and Lily Allegory Painting

Marcel was born in Quebec, Canada in 1954, living and studying in the French speaking region. He decided to move and live in Australia in 1989. His research for the ultimate oil painting technique leads him to the Old Masters in the renaissance period. Marcel has been painting and teaching those methods for the last 40 years, winning prestigious art prize and public art projects. Marcel has been conducting successful solo exhibitions and workshops interstate and overseas since the 1980’s. His instructions are based on methods taken from the traditional Venetian and Flemish techniques to produce exquisite contemporary paintings. He has been teaching foundation courses in oil from Introductory Level to Advance and mentoring studio sessions. He also regularly conducts short workshops in specialised subject, some of which includes flowers, atmospheric skies and landscapes, fabrics, water reflections and skin tones to name a few. Marcel is the founding Director and tutor at Bienarte, the fine art school in Albion, Brisbane.
