Professional photographer, visual artist expressing herself with watercolours and felt

A photography graduate, Mélanie Bellemare has worked in the world of commercial photography for over 20 years, specifically, in culinary photography. She is particularly drawn to studio work, which gives her perfect mastery over light, and specializes in object photography. She also gives workshops and talks on photography as an instructor. In addition to these various artistic projects, she has been expressing her own creativity through watercolours for some time now because, for her, while digital work is great, plunging one’s hands into colours and expressing oneself on a canvas is just as incredible!

Her artistic side has gradually expanded through her search for greater freedom of expression, which she achieves with watercolours and markers, as well as other personal photography projects. Her lovely creations represent little worlds that are both unique and organic, artfully evoked through coloured watercolour stains that she spreads on paper. Her artworks are largely inspired by nature and microorganisms, which fascinate her as they have been slowly disappearing before our eyes in recent years. Mélanie sees this as the result of our collective disconnection from nature. Her artwork is thus her highly personal and unique way of paying tribute to nature.
