A city remembered through its textures.

Montreal began with an exploration of generative textures. Wear, stains, and marks brought back memories of old hockey socks, opening a path toward other places and moments from my life.

The series developed through restrained palettes and compositions, with personal writing embedded in each inscription. Together, the images and notes form a record of the city as I remember it.

Each title points to a place and a period of life. De Sève is dedicated to my mother; Rue Cuvillier recalls my first apartment with my partner. Le Belvédère is a tribute to friendships lasting more than thirty years.

The compositions use two or three colours, allowing texture and proportion to carry the feeling of each memory. The writing inside the works gives those abstract surfaces a personal context.
