Monique Parizeau

Montreal-based printmaker and visual artist Monique Parizeau has, for several decades, developed a distinctive body of work where printmaking becomes a poetic language. Exploring various techniques (etching, aquatint, mezzotint) she creates images that are both precise and sensitive, where light sculpts forms and reveals textures. Her approach, rooted in the observation of the natural world and its transformations, conveys an intimate relationship with time and memory. Parizeau often works in series, allowing subtle tonal variations, layering, and delicate plays of shadow to converse with one another. Her work has been exhibited across Canada, Europe, and Asia, and is part of several public and private collections. Each print, meticulously constructed, bears the trace of the artist’s patient hand, balancing technical mastery with contemplative sensitivity.
