Short biography

Brigitte Thériault

Photographer and artist multidisciplinary

Born in Charlesbourg in Quebec City, Canada in 1974.

Artistic approach

As a photographic artist, Brigitte Thériault does not limit her work to a discourse on photography. An impressionist artist, she subjects her photographic eye to the film, cultivating raw instinct.

A globetrotter at heart, she strives to capture the beauty of a landscape, a fleeting moment seized on the sly; her work is resolutely aesthetic, she approaches photography like painting. This thirst for untamed freedom, this quest for the sublime and the ideal, so dear to romantic spirits, is revealed in her series "Vivia" and "Pastel," two series that contrast light and darkness, lost paradise and realism, languor and happiness, solitude and family.

Moreover, the sublimated nature, these vast desert landscapes, these winter clouds superimposed on a summer impression, these added blurs to enhance or distort reality, present works that constantly defy beauty; they borrow from nature in beams, in flashes, without ever perverting it. - Michaël Lachance , art critic, essayist. 2015
