Ariane Dubois lives and paints in Boisbriand, QC, where she was born. Over the years, she has acquired three grants as well as a College Diploma in Fine Arts from College Lionel-Groulx, Sainte-Therese, a BFA in studio art from Concordia University, a certificate in Art History and a Master's in Museology from the Université de Montréal, and a BFA Education from the University of Quebec. As a result, she leads a double career in visual art and museology.
As an independent curator, she has organized many exhibitions and written several artist's catalogues. As an artist, Ariane has developed a personal approach that stems from her relationship with nature and natural imagery over the past thirty years.
"My childhood home in Boisbriand, Quebec, near the river, woods, and fields, inspires my painting's organic forms. I am much inspired by nature and seasons, which act as the memory of time passing by. The landscape images become a pretext to achieve a personal and meditative impression. My process of art-making over the past 20 years has included painting on canvas or paper. The technique incorporates thin layers of oil on top of acrylic, latex, and enamel paint and builds a complex space where the surface's transparency reveals layers from the ground. Textural layers made of impasto play an essential role in my work. The layers are built on top of each other and show lyrical imagery from patterns of nature."
