Marie-Eve Proteau is a Canadian artist based in Trois-Rivières, Québec. She’s working full time in her sunny little studio accompanied by her curious rabbit. After exploring her work as a painter on various unconventional supports, she’s now focusing on her first twisted love, acrylic on canvas. An iconic feminine theme prevails in her paintings in a form of surrealist portraits where the emotions are implicitly drawn from the complexity of a relationship between two people; expectation, worry, obsession, secret, domination, soulmate affection.

My passion has always been to create fantasy worlds and fantastic scenery.
I am attracted to everything that is dreamlike, mystical, mysterious and powerful and fortunately I do a job that allows me to introduce, mix and rework, all of these influences that fascinate me in all my creations.
I recently started a series of personal projects, fantastic tales, of which I recreated atmosphere, characters, costumes and settings thanks also to the participation of a fantastic team.
For the aesthetic style of the images of this project (completely shot in the studio) I wanted to imitate the style of Flemish painting with the awesomeness that arouse to us the hybrid and grotesque creatures that appear in some paintings of this kind of art and its use of very dark backgrounds in sharp contrast with the subjects in light.
