The Power of Black
"The art critics Robert Bernier and Denis Viau have nourished my reflection on the use of the color black in creation. Their words gave me food for thought. I realized how black can be suggestive. As a backdrop, to pull out the light from obscurity. It reminds me of the technique of the mezzotint, learned at Concordia University. In the act of creating, we also learn a lot about ourselves. In this case, for me it was learning to conquer my fear of darkness and my timidity." Philippe Bellefleur
