Artist's interpretation of the work:
I made this canvas thinking about my future trip to Vietnam. The road I want to travel to this country that has long inspired me.
En route… _ Marie-Hélène Paradis
Marie-Hélène Paradis' artistic approach is inspired by the textures she finds in nature and everyday life. She strives to capture these in her abstract works by integrating recycled materials, everyday objects and handmade papers.
The use of these recycled materials, objects and papers are important elements in her creation. She wants her paintings to reflect the reality of today's world, a world in dire need of self-care, less excessive consumption and reuse of materials. She integrates different textures into her work, using structural mortar, handmade paper and embroidery, linen and cotton threads. The use of paper lends an even more personal touch to her work.
Her paintings are an encouragement to take care of the environment and use recycled materials. She wants her works to be a constant reminder of the potential of reuse and environmental responsibility.
