As a child and adolescent, he studied at the &#8220;Professional Artist School of Montreal&#8221; where he completed his training.<\/p>\n<p>Exceptionally gifted for drawing and portraiture, he soon developed portraits and cartoons as a street artist and a variety of events. Following the Expo 1967, he moved to &#8220;Terre des Hommes&#8221; where he made portraits of visitors and other characters. He will do the same in Old Montr\u00e9al, perpetuating a millennial tradition of artists who capture history, one character at a time.<\/p>\n<p>A talented landscape gardener, he tells his city, its history and its surroundings with his paintbrushes. He experimented with many techniques such as pastel, charcoal, sanguine, oil painting and watercolor. Although his work shows great rigor in many techniques, the artist prefers oil painting.<\/p>\n<p>A portrait artist of rare talent, he also created&nbsp;an impressive number of portraits. F\u00e9lix Leclerc, Lucien Bouchard Ren\u00e9-L\u00e9vesque and Patrick Roy, are just a few of our great men whom he immortalized.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Available Works [ngg_images source=&#8221;galleries&#8221; container_ids=&#8221;163&#8243; display_type=&#8221;photocrati-nextgen_pro_masonry&#8221; size=&#8221;260&#8243; padding=&#8221;15&#8243; display_type_view=&#8221;default&#8221; ngg_triggers_display=&#8221;always&#8221; captions_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; captions_display_sharing=&#8221;1&#8243; captions_display_title=&#8221;1&#8243; captions_display_description=&#8221;1&#8243; captions_animation=&#8221;slideup&#8221; &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":18493,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16655","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/balcondart.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16655","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/balcondart.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/balcondart.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/balcondart.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/balcondart.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16655"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/balcondart.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16655\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":29720,"href":"https:\/\/balcondart.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16655\/revisions\/29720"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/balcondart.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18493"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/balcondart.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16655"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/balcondart.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16655"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/balcondart.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16655"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
