Arima Design is the brand behind Marianne Turcotte, a painter and multidisciplinary artist originally from Saguenay, Quebec. You'll recognize her acrylic paintings, which are abstract and contemporary in style. The artist evokes authenticity, sensitivity, and delicacy in her works, which is why emotion is felt in each of her canvases.

Furthermore, the artist draws inspiration from the nature that surrounds her. This is why she expresses herself by painting animals using a medium she is equally passionate about: watercolor. You will be able to recognize her visual style by the way her works are composed.

Issue de la culture punk, Alexandra Guérin développe une œuvre marquée par l’énergie, le chaos et la transgression. Ses premières créations, brutes et violentes, interrogeaient le corps, la féminité et l’autodestruction à travers des assemblages de matériaux hétéroclites.

​

La maternité marque un tournant décisif dans sa démarche. Sans renier ses origines, son travail s’apaise et s’ouvre à de nouvelles formes. Les matériaux récupérés dialoguent désormais avec des éléments naturels dans des œuvres hybrides, entre sculpture et objet, où le respect de la matière remplace la destruction. L’apparition du triptyque accompagne cette évolution vers une expression plus maîtrisée.

​

L’esprit punk reste pourtant présent, perceptible dans les gestes, les textures et certains détails qui viennent rompre toute convention. Alexandra Guérin poursuit aujourd’hui ses recherches, notamment autour de l’art urbain.

Martine Tremblay, a self-taught artist born in Chicoutimi, has developed a unique practice rooted in symbolism, text, and emotion. Her work navigates between expressive figuration and gestural abstraction, always driven by the search for meaning.

Whether she works with acrylics, oils, or mixed media, her creations convey intimate and universal reflections. The figure becomes a messenger, abstraction a territory for exploration. President of the collective Les Artistes de la Maestria since 2018, she has exhibited in Canada, the United States, and Europe.

His art seeks to touch, question, awaken — and to open a silent dialogue between the work and the viewer.

My art is a reflection of my soul! From my travels around the world, I bring back unforgettable memories linked to colors, patterns, and spaces. The unique blues of the Moroccan sky, the intense red of chilies drying on the ground, the tender green of the Irish valleys, the yellows of rapeseed crops… The initial inspiration developed with my passion for gardens in the early 90s, when I divided my vacation time between the concept of a flower garden and painting, which was an unequivocal calling at that time in my life.

An abstract painter, Kathleen Roby enjoys working on large canvases. After a long career in law, she became a full-time artist and now devotes all her time to her art. She draws inspiration from her many travels around the world and her extended stays in England and Australia.

It was during a six-week artist residency in Australia that she was able to explore Aboriginal art in one of the most
Large Aboriginal reserves, Bidyadanga, on the Australian mainland. Her art is heavily inspired by this experience.
participated in numerous creative sessions with extraordinary Aboriginal artists in the heart of the Australian desert.

Frédérique Girard was born in 1991 in Saguenay. After studying architecture and construction engineering, her creative flame blossomed in 2021 through visual art. Greatly inspired by life and its challenges, by travel and the people around her, FRED is a creative and passionate woman with only one goal in mind: to evolve, surpass herself, and grow through a multitude of inspiring projects.

Fred's artistic approach is first and foremost highly intuitive. Giving free rein to her gestures, she leaves ample room for the unexpected. Intuition is her guide, her driving force. For her, everything is a source of inspiration. Each piece is inspired by her current state of mind and is greatly influenced by her relationships with people.

“Expansion” is a special collection imbued with vulnerability, where beauty
And light shines forth from the most painful trials. She pays tribute to
the transformation and the capacity of the being to flourish even more beautifully after each
storm.

Camille shares this powerful message through her favorite subject: the
female faces often accompanied by birds and plants in
surreal compositions. She seeks to provoke thought and awaken in the
spectator an energy or an action, encouraging him to get closer to his
own aspirations and to live life to the fullest.

His painting practice favors the warm hues of coffee on a support
in wood, as well as the contrasts of black and white acrylic. One can observe a
a mixture of textures created by different mediums such as gold leaf or
escaping drops, creating a 3rd dimension to the paintings.

Depuis ses débuts en photographie, il y a maintenant près de 20 ans, un thème revient constamment, dans ses créations : la maison. La maison représente le refuge, le sentiment de sécurité, la représentation du soi. Le paysage dans lequel se trouve la maison est ce qui est plus grand que soi, le vaste infini qui nous entoure, le mystère, le grand questionnement, la solitude intrinsèque à l'humain que nous devons regarder droit dans les yeux; dignes, debouts. 

​

Dans ses tableaux abstraits, la maison est représentée par une porte. Un petit rectangle, parfois dissimulé, parfois bien présent : une possibilité de se laisser toucher par plus grand, par l’œuvre elle-même, monde singulier sur lequel s’entrouvre cette porte.

Frédéric Marchand is a self-taught sculptor. For several years, he has been imagining, creating, and bringing to life works composed entirely of recycled metal. Frédéric has his own style and his own passion: giving life to metal and creating exquisitely delicate works while preserving the raw aspect of the material. The artist works with metal without templates or sketches.

His welding training has enabled him to acquire the necessary foundations to create unique and timeless works in every possible and imaginable way.

Danielle Lauzon lives and paints in Ste-Julienne in Lanaudière, Quebec, Canada. She completed her undergraduate studies in art history at the University of Quebec at Montreal in the 1990s.

"I like to play with the ambiguity of perception. In life, everything is subject to interpretation depending on how we read reality. Our individual experiences filter reality, which then becomes our perception."

Née à Amos au Québec, Sandra a grandi dans une nature riche et immense. Très jeune, elle accompagnait son grand-père lors de longs voyages de pêche au cours desquels le silence était de mise. Elle a alors appris à observer la nature et à cultiver sa patience, des qualités qui aujourd’hui transparaissent dans son art.

​

Son univers artistique se déploie de façon harmonieuse dans une utilisation nouvelle des éléments de la nature. Pour Sandra, celle-ci est non seulement une source inépuisable d’inspiration, mais aussi la pépinière qui fournit les matières premières à partir desquelles elle crée ses œuvres.

Originally from Île-Perrot, Stéphanie still lives there today. Over the years, she has honed her art in her own unique way. In 2016, she won first place in the MEAL competition in the independent artist category. 2017 marked her first solo exhibition, and in 2018, she was featured in a magazine published by the MAAM, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Business. The artist needed a break for a while to fully understand the importance of art for her. After the birth of her daughter, she returned to her brushes with renewed vigor, immersing herself completely in her art.

In 2022, Stéphanie won a scholarship and was a laureate for the Trace project, a project in her region that rewards emerging artists.

While traditional portraits allow the viewer to glimpse a man, a woman, or a world figure in a carefully staged setting, the same cannot be said of the portraits by artist Yves Pedneault. In his gallery of portraits, executed in charcoal or graphite pencil, there are no cinematic sets or staged scenes.

Whether their names are Georges, David, Yassine, Barbara, Béatrice, or Ayla, they stare at you, calling out to you with their striking presence. They are there, with their frowning or worried expressions, alert or playful, their souls and emotions laid bare. Their faces, bare as a question. They are so real in their stories or their childlike innocence that you feel as if they are speaking to you. As if they are asking you the question... "And me, who am I?"

La pratique artistique de Rosalie Desgagné s’inscrit dans un geste intuitif et engagé. Elle travaille l’acrylique et le dessin sans idée préconçue, laissant émerger des œuvres spontanées où l’émotion et l’intensité prennent toute la place.

Sa série Fertile mais féroce puise dans un parcours de fertilité marqué par des deuils invisibles et des normes imposées aux corps.

À travers un langage visuel ludique et frontal, elle affirme une posture féministe assumée, dénonçant les systèmes qui jugent et catégorisent.

Entrepreneure et intervenante évoluant dans des milieux exigeants, elle fait de l’art un espace de liberté radicale. Elle y explore ce qui déborde, dérange et ne se nomme pas. Refusant toute esthétique figée, elle embrasse l’expérimentation, la couleur et une sincérité brute.
