About me
Originally from Saint-Marcel de Richelieu, Isabelle Tellier is an artist who has a great interest in life. For her, the most important thing is to do what you love since she believes that is the best way to shine. Thus, having a workshop at home to always have at hand
his brushes greatly facilitate this self-development, allowing her
immense satisfacting.
Graduated in visual arts from the Cégep du Vieux Montréal in 1987 and having also followed workshops with several artists in her region, she has all the tools necessary to carve out a place for herself in the wonderful world of arts.
Isabelle has a particular love for her favorite mediums: acrylic, paper – including watercolor paper – as well as collage on canvas are mainly those from which she chooses according to the emotion of the moment and what the subject inspire her. Her figurative works include many abstract elements; consequently, her art aims to be a judicious mixture of forms that are as expressive as they are representative. She particularly likes to explore several themes, but generally, her creations have living things as a subject.
thus, animals, human beings and plants are found on her canvases as elements which will be used in the evolution of the project without her immediately knowing which direction everything will take.
To position the subject on her canvas and then give it the emotion that is specific to it, and this, in a polychromy seeming to emerge of itself at the precise moment of the creative act, is, for her, a great joy. And as her objective as a colorist is to escape from the ordinary representation of colors to let the work be inhabited by its own in the emergence of original shades composing sometimes daring palette, creative letting go suits her perfectly.
And as Isabelle draws her inspiration from all around her, photos reminding her of family trips, pets, friends or even photography partners sometimes serve as a starting point for a new creative impulse. However, sometimes it all just comes from her imagination.
In addition, creating a work that does not yet exist from self-made materials such as previously painted tissue paper represents for her a moment of joy which certainly adds to her pleasure.
Touching the malleable material and giving it life and flexibility in a perspective of rigidity also animates her. This is why one of her passions is sculpture and why her works are said to exude both strength and fragility.
For several years now, her art has taken an important place in her life. and has become, in turn, an infinite source of energy and joy, and those of her works which have already found their own home participate in this singular sharing dear to her. For Isabelle, nothing is more satisfying than seeing a person look at the work and vibrate with emotion. For the artist that she is, this is undeniably the greatest recognition.
