Artiste-Hélène Breault
BIO
L’artiste peintre Hélène Breault native des Canton de l’Est se tourne vers l’aquarelle depuis une dizaine d’années. Diplômée en Fine Arts de l’Université Bishop’s et d’un Certificat en expression artistique de l’Université de Sherbrooke, cette artiste a poursuivi son initiation à l’aquarelle auprès de différents artistes tels que Denis Palmer, Josée Perreault et Hélène Charland entre autres.
Son attachement pour la nature se reflète dans le choix de ses sujets: paysages, fleurs ou animaux. Ceux-ci cèdent parfois la place dans certains tableaux aux personnages ou à des semi-abstractions. L’artiste tente de faire passer des émotions ressenties en se servant de la composition, du choix des pigments, des coups de pinceaux et de la lumière.
C’est dans son quotidien ou encore lors de voyages que celle qui signe HBreault trouve son inspiration. Elle aime partager avec d'autres artistes et le public sa vision personnelle sur ses œuvres et sur des arts visuels en général.
Approach
Born in the Eastern Townships, Hélène Breault was drawn to the use of watercolour as a medium and has used it for the past ten years. She studied in Fine Arts at Bishop’s University in Lennoxville and completed a Certificate in Visual Arts at the University of Sherbrooke. Some artists like Denis Palmer, Josée Perreault, and Hélène Charland among others taught her the specifics of the watercolour techniques.
The different subjects used by this artist were inspired by her love for nature. Landscapes, flowers or animals are sometimes being replaced by still-lives or more recently by portraits or semi-abstract paintings.
The compositions are drawn from her sketches and pictures taken during daily activities or travels.
The finished watercolour is an attempt to reflect her emotions by using light, colors, forms and brushstrokes.
The one who signs HBreault enjoys discussing and sharing with other artists and the public her views on her works and on visual arts.
