On the left, a piece of art to signify a company's employee Recognition Project.
The painting serves as the project's figurehead, and a trophy band is presented to the year's most deserving employee. A great project i had to deliver!
On the right, art like a partnership for inspiration.
In 2017, Mango had the honor of winning the Coup de Coeur award at SIDIM - Salon du Design International held in Montreal and presented by spokesperson Mitsou Gélinas.
Psychodynamic is the word that resonates for me, in the experience of the process of creation and in the experience of the reflection of the “object”.
Through traditional and digital illustration techniques, I create and assemble elements of an eclectic nature that interact coherently and harmoniously through a circular structure, giving life to an “object” that radiates like a star or a flower.
The fluid, sinuous patterning of elements inspired by the organic world harmonizes with fundamental design principles such as structure, order, geometry, repetition, rhythm, form and counter-form through an expanding effect. Architecture dialogues with stasis and movement, converging and diverging, to finally come together in a complementarity that creates unity and balance.
The colors, meticulously explored and conceded, exploit gradations, nuances and transparencies. The whole constitutes the uniqueness and aura of the “object”. Under the gaze, the intrinsic dialogue between psyche and emotions is awakened.
This “static object” becomes an opportunity for dynamic evolution. I question the interplay between the “object” and the window, offering immersive experiences. In this way, playful perspectives emerge, akin to a microscopic journey into the heart of an organic structure to unfold it macroscopically.
Transposed onto shimmering brushed aluminum, these magnetic pictures sublimate spaces and influence the viewer's psyche towards a psychodynamic state, offering a refocusing, energizing experience.
In short, I seek inspiration from quantum energy fields to create inspiring design objects that breathe soul into your living spaces and elevate your state of mind.
Mango is a French-Canadian multidisciplinary professional artist living in Quebec City.

Art is a spontaneous expression of hidden energy. If it touches, it comes alive inside a person. It's a moment to stop and connect, to feel how art speaks to us and reveals a part of us.
I love it when art surprises me, amazes me, hypnotizes me, stimulates me through the words of colors, questions me through the interaction of forms. I love it when art transcends my energy and raises it to a higher level. To feel its benefits.
Essential to the soul, the visual arts, like music, are like a garden or the sky. We breathe without flowers, but all our senses marvel at their presence, just as a sky full of stars transcends our state. It's the magic that works.
If my creations touch you, I'm extremely delighted, and if, from this reading, you become more open to art and buy original works from artists, another part of my mission will be accomplished.
May spaces come alive and magnify themselves, and may our human souls be nourished by them.
Art needs you and you need art.
