Monique J Dufour

I am a Canadian Artist born in 1957 in Montreal and moved to Toronto in 1981 where I pursued a career in business while harboring a secret passion to paint. In 2013 I visited St. Paul de Vence (France), and upon my return I spontaneously picked up a paintbrush for the first time and fell in love with the serenity that painting brought to me. In 2016 after a lifetime in the corporate world, I left it all behind to pursue a full time career of passion and love, with new challenges, life lessons and spiritual growth. In 2018 I relocated to Spain, where I currently live. I have chosen to share my journey through my art.
I am an intuitive self-taught painter. My life experiences, music and colors are my sources of inspiration, and my paintings are a journey for both myself and the viewer. I identify myself as painting from the inside out.
I paint with music and music paints through me, orchestrating a symphony of colors, movements, energies, and vibrations. When I paint, I am drawn to select a palette of colours and I paint in a trance-like state and am not aware of the passage of time or what realm I travel to, not knowing what I will create, or for whom. I am often drawn to paint with many layers (each layer being part of the story...

I am a self-taught artist. I love colors, textures, and the freedom of art.
