Biography
Award-winning artist recognized for her endearing works, Nathalie Lapointe comes from the Lanaudière region, close to Montreal in Canada. Her style and artistic signature are constantly evolving, stimulated by both technical and aesthetic research. Always aiming to create works qualified as visual poetry, she is not anchored in any style or subject, but since 2009 prefers to let inspiration guide her professional journey. On the road of Quebec's outdoor exhibitions, she rubbed shoulders with several generations of artists and art lovers who have all enriched her art in their own way.
Signature Member of the Federation of Canadian Artists (SFCA) and Oil Painter of America (OPA), Nathalie has also been published in magazines such as PleinAir, American Art Collector, Art Avenue and Magazin'Art. As a university graduate in French and history teaching, visual art is part of a journey where the idea of timeless communication develops where the narrative framework of each creation finds its outcome in the eye of the viewer. Resulting oil paintings are an introspection where light and emotion share the leading role in her lifetime story entitled: The Art of Nathalie Lapointe.
Artist Statement
It is the result of an inner journey and personal research that I seek to present through my works, a life experience expressing its own essence and not the desire to represent reality or a subject in a concrete way. The subject gives me the opportunity to seek what it awakens in me, and this results in movements that are intended to be more and more intuitive. My work aims to extract emotion through the light and the essence of a scene that is often imaginary and borrowed from travel memories or a distant dream. The viewer is then carried away by their own experiences where the story told by the composition becomes an allegory of their own experiences and aspirations. I constantly question my technique and improve it because I believe that the freedom of gesture requires the search for a form of mastery to get ever closer to pure emotion.
My journey has been guided by an exploratory quest punctuated by various subjects aimed at finding the path that allows me to express myself freely. My paintings are an unintentional fusion of my influences, such as impressionism, tonalism, abstract, representative, and many others. . . My technique, whose foundations come from the great masters, has first evolved using the spatula and then the roller. I feel that this technique that I have developed offers me the creative freedom of movement that I am looking for.
