Canadian Surrealist Artist-"Yannick Bouchard" 1982


Yannick Bouchard is a Canadian Symbolist/Surrealist artist born in 1982. He obtained his bachelor in visual arts at Laval University of Quebec City in 2005. Art has always been a passion to me. As a kid, drawing was the favourite activity of mine and already back then I knew I wanted to be an artist. I was interested in comics at a younger age, but it's only in college that painting became my main interest. My inspiration first came with the acquaintance of surrealist painters. I discovered then a world of peculiar images with obscure meanings, exploring figuratively abstract concepts through their own strange and personal vision of life, pursuing the mysteries of subconscious and dreams, bringing a different view on perception, reality, human mind and desires.

Overall, my paintings are more or less a mixture of all those types; surrealism, fantasy, erotic, with a touch of symbolism and even sometimes macabre. But most of all, my paintings are images resulting of my inner thoughts and feelings; they are the expression of my love for the human body, the inspiring curves of femininity, as well as the superphysical side of the human mind, the mystical and the magical, or just very simple little things, like textures, colors and nature. They are not intellectual pieces.
Mostly, I paint for myself; I paint what I like, what moves me, what I feel and what I am.
