claudetteCASTONGUAY
Born on Quebec in 1949, Claudette
Castonguay has been pursuing her own research in art for more than thirty five
years. A self-taught painter, she has exhibited her paintings across Canada
regularly since 1979. In 1984 she retired from teaching to devote her time
exclusively to her professional painting career.
Claudette is known for her paintings that depict the individuality of characters
with spontaneity, sensitivity, and humour. An afternoon cocktail party, music
and flowers, market gardens and children at play are reflections of Quebecois
style and elegance on canvas. The world of Claudette Castonguay continues to
delight her collectors.
“When I begin a new painting, I love to give time and space to improvisation.I
choose colour, I draw forms and instinctively I try to harmonize light, colours
and forms.From this, the subject of the painting takes form. I am fascinated by
the play activity of creation and I like to think that the canvas I am painting
will bring as much joy to the person who will choose it as I am experiencing
when I paint. When I stand in front of the easel, there is only this present
moment that exists. These instants are precious, sometimes magical. What more
can I ask for?”
