"Paint itself is something I'm in love with – the way of making shape and form with a loaded brush. Without that, I think life would be quite deprived." - Pierre Coupey

Growing up with an avid art collector as a father exposed Pierre Coupey to the possibilities of paint and brush. From a young age, he found himself drawn to paint itself. Pierre reveals one year when his childhood home in Montreal was being renovated, he decided to surprise his parents with an unexpected paint job on the family's car. One year later, he painted the car again but also painted the neighbourhood children from head to toe.
During his teen years, Pierre was able to experiment in oils thanks to a local art supplies company that gave him needed supplies on credit, though he was also adept at creating his own pigments just for the opportunity to paint. On a mission to evolve his identity as an artist, Pierre frequented galleries throughout his studies at McGill University, Académie Julian and Atelier 17 in Paris.
These days, Pierre returns the help he was given to artists on their journey to finding their artistic voice through teaching and writing. Watch Pierre in his home studio as he takes us on a walk down memory lane, a lifetime in the making.
