Parfums d'Asie I Painting

As a contemporary realist painter Guy-Anne Massicotte’s approach to art is both traditional and contemporary with an emphasis on technique and fine craftsmanship. She works with oils memorializing old master’s techniques. Eclectic subjects and several sources of inspiration include antiques, animals, people, and nature. Her path to realism always flirts with abstraction; turning disparate elements into a coherent design, finding colour and value themes that unify, and leading brushstrokes have beauty and refinement that enhance impressions of reality. Each artwork is a process of seeing beyond reality to show her own vision and bring sensual connection with the subject and find poetry. Established in galleries for twenty years, we can see her works in major international events and private collections around the world. The subjects and scenes she depicts sometimes take roots in the past, sometimes trend towards a modern universe, always through the realism lens. www.guyannemassicotte.com
