Simard, Mélanie

Technique: Mixed on canvas and aluminum

Mélanie Simard was born in Boischatel, a suburb of Quebec City, in 1975. A visual artist active since 2005, she has developed a practice focused on exploring materials, gesture, and color.

Known particularly for her floral works, she creates vibrant compositions where movement, texture, and vivid colors take center stage. Signed Mélan, her works are distinguished by their freshness, energy, and profound sensitivity.

Her work has been exhibited in Canada, the United States, and Europe, reflecting a constantly evolving artistic approach marked by experimentation, intuition, and technical innovation.

Mélanie Simard works in mixed media on canvas, aluminum, wood, and paper. She explores layering, textural effects, texture, and chromatic vibration to create works that are both expressive and luminous. Screen printing also plays a significant role in her practice, allowing her to incorporate a graphic and repetitive dimension while preserving the spontaneity of the gesture.

Emotions are at the heart of her artistic approach. Her own life experiences, those of her family, and everyday experiences deeply nourish her work. Whatever her state of mind, she paints with energy, driven by the desire to bring light, color, and emotion into the collector's life.
