Anaelle Tringle
After her Graphic Design bachelors at UQAM, Anaëlle (she/her) is exploring many medias and combining them, like collage, drawing, acrylic paint, linocut, mural, ceramics and textile work. She likes to reflect on themes of identity and contemplation, through all the emotions that can be felt on suppressed. Rage, powerlessness & resistance are fuel for her colorful art. Although, she feels very calmed by the color green and by nature and she is very inspired by these aspects. Organic patterns and textures as well as a mix of different mediums are what she prefers. Her practice is for her a sort of meditation because the repetition of a pattern can be very soothing to accomplish, turning the brain off and only focusing on doing.
