Martin Beaupré was born in Quebec, Canada, in 1961. Over the years Martin has found his point of
balance by associating art with energy. As a full-time painter Martin’s
paintings are a reflection of his inner world. Martin takes us on a Zen journey
which reveals a search for beauty and harmony in muffled tones, with serene,
uncluttered compositions. In 1995, Martin founded the Médit’Art workshop, where
he teaches modern and intuitive painting. Martin has also moderated art therapy
workshops for amateur and professional painters, in the deserts of the United
States and in the tropics of Hawaii.
Private and corporate collectors from all over the world find Martin’s contemporary
canvases arouse profound emotions. Thanks
to his accomplished mastery of colors and his completely resistance-free
approach. Martin’s paintings combine energy and dynamism with tranquility and
serenity. The preferred luminous intensity is white, because it offers the
possibility of attaining the infinite. Martin
works in various mediums: oil, modeling clay, sable, Swarovski crystal and ink.
Martin Beaupré has met with Buddhist monks in Thailand and Japan who
have become a great source of inspiration.
Martin believes the principles of Japanese art are sacred. The secret
which lends power to his art is this: the void is to be embellished, but
never filled. Create the maximum effect with the minimum means. Inspired by
travels, Martin creates canvases imbued with Asian culture. We find works showing
flowering cherry-trees, mountains, Buddha’s faces, geishas, and symbols and
writings inspired by Zenga. Nothing is left to chance; there is a reason behind
every detail.
One thing is for certain, there is never a confrontation between form
and space. Everything coexists, everything is connected. Impression of calm,
instant of grace, mastery of life, everything is softened. Martin Beaupré
offers us a mystical operation of the senses, a sort of voyage to the borders
of the equilibrium and the immensity which reside within us. An intense poetry
to be lived and explored!
