…here is the result of the project on which I dedicated myself for two month.The painting is composed of eight panels made from steel studs and plywood andcovered with coton canvas. Each panel is 16’ height by 8’ width and the wholehas 61’ by 16’. The initial idea of the project comes from Pierre Martin andAnnie Saucier, architects, the sketches were made by Annie Saucier and me and,finally, I conducted and realized the painting in a workshop. 

The painting represents an abstract composition evocating the sea and the sky.There’s a boat in a storm on the second panel which can somehow remember us ofthe firsts men who came across the sea to discover Canada.

It’s installed in the main hall of a brand new federal building in a new eco-districtof Quebec City.
