My happiness lies in sharing beauty and love through the colors and texture of sculpture.

Virginie Schroeder has been pursuing her path as a painter for over twelve years, after deciding to leave her job as a temp. In 2009, she reinvented herself by moving to Canada, and it was in Montreal that she took part in her first exhibitions, naturally finding her place in the city's vibrant cultural and artistic life. After a period when her style leaned towards Pop Art, she developed more personal techniques, born of a synthesis between her experience of the figurative and her fascination for the abstract.
Today, her paintings delight audiences not only in Canada, but also in France and the United States.

Her work begins with a realistic sketch of her subject, which she then cuts up and deconstructs, before applying a medium in order to delineate the lines of her work. She then superimposes several layers of acrylic and then oil paint, applying colours using a syringe and then reworking them with a knife. Once she is satisfied with the meticulously created harmony, she then scratches the medium in order to reveal the final work. The mix of bright colours and fluorescent paints enables her to create contrasts that showcase the vibration of lines and to give depth to her work.
The viewer first discovers an abstract painting with lines and colours that are skilfully mastered, then he or she back up, lets their gaze focus on a detail and then suddenly they discover a radically different work.
