Claude Tousignant was born in Montreal in 1960.

A self-taught painter, drawing was his first passion, which characterizes his artistic creation process well.

After studying graphic design, he worked for many years in the printing industry and participated in the production of art books for both museums and new artists that he enjoyed discovering.

He dabbles in several mediums including pastel and oil, but prefers acrylic paint for its many creative possibilities.

His reading, life modeling workshops, and exhibition visits fuel his research to perfect his technique. He travels through the neighborhoods of the cities he visits, always looking for subjects for his future creations. Montreal, his hometown, with its alleyways and cafes remains a particular source of inspiration. 

His artistic approach is based on the concept of yin and yang, this notion of complementarity that we find in all aspects of life and that he applies in the interaction of colors between them and the treatment of his compositions to give life to his paintings.
