Welcome 

Christiane Fortin, artist

It is with tremendous pleasure that I welcome you to this website and invite you to view my artwork which you will find listed in different galleries. 

Discovering Art

My inspiration as an artist stems from the innocence of my childhood and the sublime beauty of nature.  With my incessant need to use color, transparency and contrasts, I quickly turned to my flower garden for stimulation.  It represents the delicacy and feminine sensuality found in nature, which in my opinion is the most beautiful work of art in the world.

My Artwork

You will find in my watercolor gallery,  paintings which are created from multiple layers of pigments,   allowing  me to establish depth and light. I choose my subjects very carefully, in order to get better acquainted with their singular features. I recently began a collection of large format flowers, which allows me to express my fascination for movement and transparency. I give free reign to my own interpretation through the use of color. My acrylic paintings, on the other hand, reflect my internal personality. I use Charlot, my own creation, a beloved cat who enjoys appearing in amusing contexts.  

My objective

My main goal is to illustrate my “joie de vivre.” Therefore my primary objective is that you, the viewers, have an opportunity to experience the same emotions as mine when observing nature. Charlot, for his part, hopes to make you laugh and experience pure and sincere childlike emotions.

Enjoy !
