Marc was born in 1964 in a small community in Lac Saint-Jean in Quebec. At the age of 18 Marc began expressing his creativity through paints and while experimenting with many different techniques he developed his own style of modern painting; due in large part to the great American masters of abstract expressionism,like Franz Kline,Robert Motherwell,Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko. On his way Marc crossed paths with a renowned American art critic, Clement Greenburg who proposed that Marc should go to University to solidify his art by supporting it with education. Marc attended the Chicoutimi University of Quebec between 1986-1989 and received his Bachelor degree in des arts plastiques. During this time his popularity was growing,due in large part to his exhibitions and museum events. Since arriving on the art scene Marc has made significant progress in the nudist movement as well as exposing his cultural diversity by offering Native Indian artwork. Michel at the Michel Blais Gallery was particularly drawn to Marc’s ability to express movement by using vibrant,bold colours in raw brush strokes,untamed only by the restrictions of the canvas. The art evokes emotion within all of us as we are able to relate to the vitality in all the pieces. Marc currently resides in Le Petit Champlain in Quebec City where he continues to paint and expand his form.
