CÉLÉBRER L’HIVER AVEC AMOUR

La fin de l’hiver se célèbre comme le chant du cygne : un éclat de soleil éclatant à travers un ciel d’hiver d’un froid bleu glacé sans nuages.


En même temps, l’hiver du mois de mars se réchauffe au creux de l’amour familial, de l’entraide d’autrui parfois même d’un inconnu et du retour d’une corneille moins frileuse.


La création est pour moi un moment de réflexion que je partage grâce à cette exposition avec les personnes qui s’arrêtent pour entendre ma forme de langage imager.

“L’entraide” – Encre. 29 cm X 30 cm.  

“Le chant” – Pastel sec et crayon. 28 cm X 47.5 cm

“Frère et Soeur” – Encre & acrylique. 40 cm X 41 cm


Marisol Gonzalez Lara

Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, Campus Xochimilco (Mexico)

“Joyful” – Collage

“Peaceful” – Crayons

“Movement” – Acrylics and photo


Sharon Smith

“A Peaceful Place To Reflect”

Pastel.

I am inspired by the beauty of nature which has influenced many of my art works.

My paintings are often in watercolor and sometimes as in this piece I add pastel.

    How nice it is to be a virtual participant of this exhibition even though I cannot display my paintings in real life at the Cavendish Mall. It gives me the impression of being part of this art project and of the Engage Living Lab Créatif Community and the Concordia University Art Hives you for all this work and preparation .
    Once again, special thanks to Momo who game to me with her legendary patience she always has.
