Short biography

Brigitte Thériault 

Photographer, artist multidisciplinary and entrepreneurial.

Born in Charlesbourg, Quebec, Canada, in 1974.

Artistic approach

Artist-photographer Brigitte Thériault does not reduce her field of action to a discourse on photography. An impressionist artist, she subjects her photographic eye to the film, cultivating raw instinct. 

As a globetrotter, she strives to capture the beauty of a landscape, of a fleeting moment caught on the sly, her work is resolutely aesthetic, she approaches photography like a painting. This thirst for wild freedom, this quest for the sublime and the ideal, so dear to romantic minds, is revealed in her series "Vivia" and "Pastel", two series that oppose light and darkness, lost paradise and realism, languor and happiness, solitude and family.

Moreover, the sublimated nature, these great desert spaces, these winter clouds on summer impression, these blurred added to increase or disguise the reality give to see works which constantly defy the beauty, it borrows from the nature by beam, by flash, without ever perverting it. - Michaël Lachance, art critic, essayist. 2015
