Across the Quebec art landscape, Daniel Sarazin, born in Trois-Rivières in 1971, is a self‑taught artist who has worked for more than forty years in the field of figurative arts. He discovered painting at the age of twelve, a formative moment that opened the way to an instinctive and passionate practice. Ten years later, guided by an already well‑defined artistic intuition, he presented his first solo exhibition in a gallery in his hometown.
After beginning studies in visual arts, he chose to end them, favoring instead a personal artistic approach, which he considered well established and firmly rooted in his practice. Primarily a painter, but also a sculptor, he developed a singular approach, each piece emerging from intimate reflection and texts that accompany his creative process. His work stems from an interplay between image, material, and writing giving it a profound narrative dimension and an incomparable inner coherence.
Over the years, he has multiplied solo, group, and museum exhibitions, presented in Quebec and elsewhere in Canada. Today, he is represented by several galleries that highlight the maturity, consistency, and unity of his vision of the world.
Daniel Sarazin’s artistic world is distinguished by its sensitivity, its sense of storytelling, and the emotional presence he infuses into his works. His work proposes a hybrid language in which the intimate becomes form, color, and vibration at the crossroads of painting, poetry, and materiality.
