Dominique que Fortin

Dominique's work is centered towards human characters. Her painting, sometimes naive, sometimes more abstract, is a sort of study of the human soul in a contemporary style, but full of the emotions of romanticism. It once depicted reality, but today, it has something of the exoticism of fairy-like dreams, where the characters are actors but also the catalysts of emotion.

Modern Art with its sensuality, its use of lines, movement and ornamentation was of great influence in her first years' pictural vision. But since the beginning, continuously exploring new horizons, Dominique has tried to free herself of her influences, using everything that she can grab to embellish her paintings with bursts of color, textures and media, making her way to find her own symbolic language.

Today, her vision is centered towards childhood, this paradise lost for adulthood that she idealizes because she's constantly brought back to it by her own children, as she paints their unfailing joy of life, candor and imagination.
