This painting reflects my journey in discovering my artistic style, with subtle references to the first artist who made an impact on me (Claude Guertin).
It captures the self-doubt and uncertainty I’ve felt, though joy emerges as vivid colors, as different parts of myself come together in one form. The work represents the tension between influence and individuality, reflecting the ongoing process of finding my own voice.
Boudreault's paintings showcase a simplified figurative approach to balance her overthinking mind. Her work reveals textured color mixes, intricate color palettes and layers of depth blending deliberate, weighty brushstrokes with spontaneous, diluted ones—outcomes of an introspective process.
