Benoit Desfossés since elementary school has a pencil in his hand and
scribble drawings in his books while the teacher is giving explanation.
He is born in 1956 in Montréal, October 15th. He is the 15th child of a
family of 19th children. Different from his brothers and sisters, he
found his place in art and studied publicity design and various
techniques associated to this discipline. He studied also at UQUAM in
industrial design, architecture, graphic and interior design. Many of
his project were published in magazines; Les Idées de Ma Maison and
Décormag.

After many years
working in the interior design, graphics and publicity, he joined
a new group and studying at Académie d'arts et Beaux Arts in
Varennes, Québec. He learned painting classic arts with Pierrette
Lacas and Sam Aberg. He participates to his first exhibit and was
invited to a television interview for the event. With a grouping
of artists, the Museum of Arts of Montréal accepted to integrate
their paintings project Hommage À Monet, vision Québécoise
during the International exhibit of the impressionist:
Monet.

His post impressionism style evolves during years and traveling. He
participates to several grouping exhibits and solo. He now teaches to
over 60 students in Ste Julie at Ateliers Artlequin and he is dedicated
totally to his art. We find his art and paintings through private
collections around Canada. |
