Cynthia Coulombe-Bégin
Born in Miami, Cynthia Coulombe-Bégin grew up in Quebec City where she earned a Bachelor of Visual Arts in 2006 from Laval University. Starting very young, her parents focused a great deal on both the arts and athletics which helped her develop her own mode of expression.
Coulombe-Bégin's dynamic acrylic on canvas works seek to produce a metamorphic interpretation of the artist's inner identity. Her paintings make ample use of contrasting colors to create exuberance and energy in her images. Inspired by street art, Coulombe Bégin 's paintings range from the abstract to the surreal and employ a variety of techniques and materials. Her contemporary artworks draw inspiration from body image, the universally recognizable symbol of hearts, and the experience of humankind.
Coulombe-Bégin began her professional artistic career at the Marius Barbeau Museum with her first solo exhibition, Traces Corporelles, in 2006. She has continued to exhibit in galleries and art fairs in Hong Kong, New York, Los Angeles, Miami, and Quebec. Coulombe-Bégin’s works have been acquired by numerous private collectors in Canada, the United States, Europe, Brazil, and Australia.
