THE RECEPTION
Yves
Doré
Biography
My art reflects the "fantasiste" style (fantasy) of my memories from yesteryear through my impressions and perspective of today. My inspiration comes from everyday things like bicycles, staircases, ice rinks and anything that may spark my creativity. Starting from my sketches, I transfer them onto black canvases. I use bright colored acrylic paints. Winter scenes are extremely important in my process as they allow me to use the "fantaisiste" approach to enhance the pure colors, distorted perspectives and angles. The characters that appear in my scenes are used in a stylish fashion, they are intriguing, reserved or simply in the background
After several gallery exhibitions and various symposia, my work has been recognized with numerous awards, accolades, and publications. The experience I've gained now allows me to create original, whimsical, creative, and technically sophisticated paintings, which I hope you will enjoy.
