Bio:

Roxanne Sauriol is a self-taught artist based in Montreal, Canada, whose paintings have been exhibited and collected internationally. She is known for her vivid paintings of female figures. While each of her pieces conveys differing messages, women are the common denominator and vessel through which she paints an autobiographical narrative.

Sauriol begins her artistic process by developing concepts, followed by photographing street-cast models, which serve as references for her final intricate and cryptic oil paintings. She has been practicing her craft since 2008 directly after the birth of her only daughter, which she considers to be the driving force behind her career as a self made artist and single mother.

Artist statement:

Truth over ego

Freedom over comfort

Wit over pride
