Pierre Bellemare has been painting for many years, and intensively since 1998. In his artistic work, he aims to balance the spontaneous and the technical using acrylic on canvas. His subjects of predilection are flower gardens and unspoiled nature.
Pierre Bellemare earned a bachelor's in graphic communication from Université Laval in 1984 following a college diploma in fine arts from Cégep de Trois-Rivières in 1981. His university training gave him an opportunity to study illustration under great painters such as Antoine Dumas and Milos Reindl. Years before, Pierre Bellemare was introduced to painting by renowned artist Normand Boisvert.
In 1991, after working in graphic communication for advertising agencies as well as the Government of Canada, Radio-Canada, and the Quebec National Assembly, he founded Bellemare Design graphique, a firm fully dedicated to visual communication that he still manages. And so, his entire career has centered on visual creation and design. He has completed many national and international projects. Some of his publications are available in five languages in more than 65 countries. In 2004, he received a Zenith Award from the Government of Quebec for a communication campaign.
Over the years, painting regained its importance in the life of Pierre Bellemare. It became compelling, pervasive. He is especially captivated by the rich palette of colors in flower gardens.
