| Pierre Bellemare
has been painting for many years, and intensively since 1998.
In his artistic work, he aims to balance the spontaneous and
the technical using acrylic on canvas. His subjects of predilection
are flower gardens and unspoiled nature. Pierre
Bellemare earned a bachelor's in graphic communication from
Université Laval in 1984 following a college diploma
in fine arts from Cégep de Trois-Rivières in
1981.
His university training gave him an opportunity
to study illustration under great painters such as Antoine
Dumas and Milos Reindl. Years before, Pierre Bellemare was
introduced to painting by renowned artist Normand Boisvert.
In 1991, after working in graphic communication
for advertising agencies as well as the Government of Canada,
Radio-Canada, and the Quebec National Assembly, he founded
Bellemare Design graphique, a firm fully dedicated to visual
communication. And so, his entire career
has centered on visual creation and design.
He has completed many national and international
projects. Some of his publications are available in five languages
in more than 65 countries. In 2004, he received a Zenith Award
from the Government of Quebec for a communication campaign.
Over the years, painting regained its importance
in the life of Pierre Bellemare. It became compelling, pervasive.
He is especially captivated by the rich palette of colors
in flower gardens.
His travels are another source of inspiration and stimulation. Many countries including Italy, Greece, Spain, France and China inspire the vibrant colors and warm harmonies he loves to use in his work.
His paintings are in private collections across Canada, USA and Europe.
