Biography: La Galerie Fleur De Lys is proud to present the works of Quebec artist Marthe Boisjoly
"I express my art through acrylic, watercolour, drawing, pastel and other mixed media. I surrender my rational side by leaving the right hemisphere of my brain command, thus leaving the intuitive guide my creations. I have always been passionate about artistic expression and horses, this is why they are very present in my works. My inspiration is drawn from nature and its elements, life, the universe and spirituality. I store in my brain all the feelings, images, concepts which inspire me and express my art by multitudes of small syntheses from where the imaginary characterizes my creations. "
At a very young age, the aptitude for drawing determines the personality of Marthe Boisjoly. This directs her to studies which support her creativity. After two years of secondary studies in advertisement drawing, she chooses one collegial year in vestimentary art in the hopes to fill her creative needs. However, she continues her collegial studies in visual art. Thereafter, she worked two years in the equestrian field, because horses are her second great passion.
She then studies in graphic communication at Laval University. She works afterwards as graphic designer and illustrator, that while continuing her study in equestrian art. These last few years she has devoted more and more time to the expression of her art in a more personal context by combining her powerful passion for horses and her impossible to circumvent need for expression by pictorial art.
