Monique J Dufour

Born in 1957 in Montreal Canada and lived in Toronto for many years. I relocated to Spain in 2018 where I live permanently. After a lifetime in the corporate world, I left it all behind in 2013 after visiting St Paul de Vence in France . which totally inspired me and I dove into a new career of passion and love with new challenges, life lessons and spiritual growth. I am self taught, and It is indeed a journey that is still unfolding, and I have chosen to share it through my art. My Journey started thousands of years ago, different lives and different lifetimes. Though I have been a healer in many past lives, a priestess, a nun, an artist who prayed for talent, I had many lessons to learn to bring me to where I am today.

When I enter my studio, I move into and become totally lost in the dimension of the vibrancy and energetic frequency field of the colors that I work with.

My inspiration are life, music, and energy. My paintings are a journey not only for myself but also for the viewer. I paint from the inside out, and when I paint, I enter a space where I connect to my soul and am guided by an unknown hand that creates my paintings. My paintings carry energies and frequencies that remain with the paintings.

I paint in a trance like state, not knowing what the creation will be or who it will be for. My semi abstract and abstract compositions lend themselves to individual interpretation and resonance with the viewer. They may assist with healing, mindfulness, meditation, focus. I seek primarily to move others through my artistic practice.
