Marie-Josée is a self-taught painter from the Lévis, Québec, Canada region. She specialises in animal art and portraiture. Marie-Josée embraces an instinctive and unbound artistic journey, shaped outside of traditional academic frameworks. As a passionate self-taught artist, she proves that authenticity can be a powerful creative force.​Guided by the duality of life, her work is defined by a striking interplay between black and white and vivid color. This visual dialogue becomes a poetic metaphor: shadow and light, simplicity and complexity, stillness and intensity.​In each painting, the black-and-white elements convey elegant simplicity and introspection, while the colorful side bursts with emotion, expressing the sensory richness of human experience. Together, they form a harmonious tension — a conversation between contrasts.​Her technique, combining brush and palette knife, adds unique texture and depth, inviting not only the eye but the senses. Each artwork becomes a sensory experience, drawing the viewer into an emotional journey.​Today, she continues her artistic path with unwavering sincerity, contributing a distinctive and deeply sensitive voice to the contemporary art landscape.
