Sophie Prive

I have completed my Bachelor of Visual Arts from Université Laval in 1999. Since 2001, I have given different art courses and workshops and I have participated in many group or solo exhibitions mostly in Quebec and Toronto.

My artworks investigate the fluid and illogical nature of dreams and the construction of memory. People in my painting are transcribed from my personal collection of photographs documenting insignificant moments with family and friends. I want to represent the complexity of our language, and depict my emotions about our current way of living and about the actual world situation. sophieprivearts.blogspot.com

I’m very excited about the ARTCO project. I think that art is an act of sharing, and believe that art must be fleeting, and to be taken as an experience to understand the other, in the present.
