Marc Violette (1989, Edmundston, Canada) is an artist based in his hometown of Edmundston, working primarily in abstract painting. Through layered compositions that blend colour and geometric forms, he explores the notion of energy—creating a visual language that bridges the interplay between nature and humanity. His work invites viewers into meditative spaces that foster deeper human connection and reflection.
Violette’s process is both intentional and fluid, grounded in a clear conceptual framework yet open to discovery through intuitive reflection. Inspired by the synchronicity between inner experience and the outer world, his practice investigates the spiritual and energetic ties that bind humanity to the greater rhythms of nature. His paintings translate what cannot be spoken—emotions, intuitions, and subtle energies that flow beneath the surface of daily life.
Drawing from aerial perspectives of galaxies, water, earth, and living organisms, his work becomes a introspection on the invisible forces animating both organic and inorganic life, evoking a profound sense of wonder. Through this lens, Violette shifts the conversation toward a deeper understanding of life’s interconnectedness—between material forms, bodily experience, and environmental context.
In this way, his paintings create spaces where viewers can attune their inner rhythms to a pulsating energy, serving as a reminder that we are all part of something far larger—connected to the world, the universe, and ultimately, to ourselves.
Among his works, Life Itself in Phive (2025) stands out as a dramatic close-up swirl, evoking an indomitable whirlpool. Its energy is expressed through layers of gold set against thick strokes of ultramarine blue, suggesting a cosmic spiral—the charged phenomenon of light as the creator of life.
Violette has exhibited internationally and solo exibitions at Edmundston City Hall and the Edmundston Public Library. His group exhibitions span cities including London, Athens, Berlin, Miami, Palma, and Dubai. Most recently, he was honored with the “Botticelli in Florence” prize.
