ABOUT

Hélène Caron lives in Blainville, Quebec, Canada.  A self-taught artist, she has been painting since childhood. Before exhibiting in galleries, she worked as an executive assistant for large companies, but she also traveled throughout the province with her Golden Retriever, Jade, with whom she participated in numerous obedience competitions, winning several prizes. She gave birth to her two sons and returned to painting a few years later. It was her colorful cows, painted in her distinctive style, that brought her national and international recognition. These were followed by her bears, which enjoyed phenomenal success, and of course, her famous horses, which even led to her being featured in the art gallery of the Cavalia World Horse Show, where all her paintings were sold.

 

Hélène is always striving to improve, to challenge herself, in order to progress and innovate in her art.  In 2023, she discovered oil sticks, a medium that immediately captivated her. While continuing to paint her animals, she added touches of oil stick, but she felt limited and unable to fully express her imagination with this medium in this way.

 

It was then that she gave herself the freedom to paint abstract works, an art form that had long appealed to her.  After several attempts of all kinds, in 2025, she finally found her style: colorful, raw, and full of movement, where colors, sometimes vibrant, sometimes muted, overlap and seem to take flight only to return with renewed force and wander across the canvas.

 

“Expressing my feelings and communicating through color and texture has always been essential for me.  Color has always been an integral part of my artistic process, and creating textures and depth through layering is a crucial step in giving each painting its own story, and a little bit of my own’’.

 

Her works are part of several collections around the world, including in Canada, the United States, Europe, and Australia.
