This captivating artwork reveals an explosion of color and emotion, mastered with undeniable artistic audacity. The artist uses a vigorous blend of expressionist and abstract techniques to create a composition of striking depth and energy. In the foreground, dynamic brushstrokes and vibrant splashes of yellows, greens, and reds evoke a lush bloom, at once chaotic and harmonious. The sunflowers, depicted in an unconventional manner, lose their realistic definition to blend into an abstraction where each brushstroke seems to tell a distinct story. Blurred outlines and black marks add an intriguing complexity, guiding the eye through a visual labyrinth. The work’s background, in calmer tones of blue and light gray, provides a deliberate contrast, allowing the vivid shapes and colors to stand out with increased intensity. This opposition creates a fascinating visual tension, holding the viewer’s interest and inviting prolonged contemplation. This painting is distinguished by its courageous use of color and texture, demonstrating a perfect mastery of abstraction. Each brushstroke, each burst of color seems to be fused by an inner energy, translating a world where nature and human emotion meet and intertwine in an effervescent dance. Without a doubt, this work is a bold statement of vitality and passion, a celebration of the raw and untamed beauty of nature. It attracts, it captivates and, above all, it calls for a deep reflection on the way we perceive and interact with the world around us.

Presentation
Valérie Butters is an artist who has burst upon the art scene in Montréal, Toronto, British Columbia, Ottawa and Paris. She is fascinated by the subconscious and influenced by surrealism and expressionism. She has studied under many prominent contemporary artists such as: Jennifer Hornyak, Marilyn Rubenstein, Seymour Segel, Shirley Kats, Philip Iverson, Sophie Jodoin, and Jacques Clement. She was also inspired by the revolutionary Canadian artist, Paul-Émile Borduas.
Borduas created a very different vision of life and art with his spontaneous expressions of emotions, feelings, and sensations. While his work was considered radical at the time, Butter's work is seen as joyful explosions of colour and emotion. Her evolution and exuberant exploration of colour and composition make her still-lifes and landscapes flamboyant and exciting.
Valerie attended the Ottawa School of Art in 2001 and, in 2005, graduated from a three-year Comprehensive Arts Program at the Saidye Bronfman Centre, in Montreal, where she received art scholarships in 2003 and in 2004. Her quick evolution and exploration of colour and compositions resides in her still-lifes and landscapes. Her large formats and flamboyant style have caught the eye of art critics such as Henry Lehmann of the Montréal Gazette (11 September 2004) who described her work as “…interestingly gaudy, exuberantly messy…"
“… Valerie's work is an expression of her constant quest for freedom of expression and the passion to let her subconscious take control …" (Brett Anningson; Arabella Magazine, Spring 2015)
Valérie now resides and paints in Pemberton, British Columbia with her husband and son
