Carol Bernier

Born in Montreal in 1963, Carol Bernier's passion for the arts manifested itself at an early age and continues to this day. Creating beautifully layered abstracted landscapes – better described as atmospheres ­- Bernier is an artist who completely relies on her instincts. She never starts a painting with a preconceived idea because she has the experience that she disappears as soon as she puts the first touch of colour on her canvas. It is by deepening this dialogue with her canvas that an image begins to form in her mind. Her artistic practice is highly meditative and the source of utmost self-reflection.

Bernier uses her art to address the artist’s eternal challenge; how to use the work’s inherent power to present the viewer with an internal reality, revealing something strangely familiar and yet ultimately intangible. Bernier is captivated by light and transparency, creating stunning compositions with layers of overlapping fields of rich jewel tones. The artist’s brushstrokes do not reveal themselves through a logical or linear sequence but are rather natural and spontaneous. 

Her latest exhibition, ÎLES EN VUE, invites the viewer to lose themselves in the emotions that the works evoke, at the same time stimulating our imaginations. This series was an escape; a way for Bernier to travel to other places and dimensions by creating landscapes that depict her heart and the depth of her emotions. From inside her studio, she painted intensely to convey every part of herself and her mind, which the pandemic had forced her to withdraw into and explore.
