Born in France, Yvan studied fine art and design at the Ecole Nationale des Beaux Arts de Nancy. In 1998 Canada became his permanent residence.
His earlier works center on the use of acrylic and airbrush, while more recent paintings focus predominantly on the use of oil as his medium.
His past experience in stone work and carpentry accentuated his passion for historic structures and monuments. The craftsmanship, patina and history inspires many of his pieces to be focused on urban landscapes that surround us in everyday life.
He has held individual and group exhibits and showings in Canada, France, Luxembourg and Germany. Of the many accolades he has received, of which all hold special importance, his most prized possession was an award given by Madam Mienne Picasso.
ARTIST’S STATEMENT
"A painting represents a window into a suspension in time which, in turn, allows the observer to wander within."
