Artists

Richard Riverin

I was born in Quebec in 1942. Self-taught, I have developed a unique technique using palette knives and my own paint mixture. My art is characterized by a soft luster, a very thick texture, a feeling of spontaneity, a diversity in subjects and compositions and a comforting harmony of colors. I became an artist at the age of 58 in Naples, Florida, where I owned an art gallery.
Due to financial difficulties, I could no longer buy art; my only way to get out of it was to make the paintings myself. With 30 years of experience as a gallery owner, I knew the trends in the art market and knew that my work had to surpass that of those great artists sold in the art galleries of Naples.
I started painting every day and destroying my paintings one after the other with sadness and despair. The talent was not there but I continued to paint every day, hating it, praying to God to help me and a miracle happened.
I started making some beautiful paintings, six months later I was one of the best-selling artists in Naples, Florida, and then one of the most successful exhibitors at Art Expo New York over a period of 15 years.
I have sold about 4000 original paintings over a period of 20 years, which is an unprecedented success for an artist. I came back to Canada and bought a large and beautiful space in Old Montreal in 2015. At the age of 81, I continue to paint, I feel young, and I want to continue doing business by keeping the name Galerie Saint-Paul from my home studio. I am also a published science fiction novelist, author of the Ghama-2 An Afterlife Story trilogy, available on Amazon and Kindle. You can read in this site several of my short stories

Michel Moreau

Michel Moreau was born in France in 1940. Self-taught, Michel has developed a unique style, a blend of hyper-realism and modern impressionism. Details are important and he spends hours adding extra compositional elements to a painting that would have been a masterpiece without them. His work is modern with an abstract edge and incredibly perfect. The stunning faces of his character scenes are stunning.
Michel was awarded the highest honorary title by the Salon des Artistes Français in 1982.
Exhibiting his work in several galleries in France, Japan, Canada and the United States, Michel has been making a living as an artist since the early 1960s. Michel is considered by many art collectors to be the finest modern figurative artist in the world.

Daniel Jaugey

A self-taught artist, Daniel has developed an original, unique and very artistic technique. The texture adds charm to his paintings. Up close it is almost an abstract ,but the abstract shapes become figurative elements in modern impressionism when you move away from the painting. He has created faces for his recognizable ballad compositions in all of his character scenes.
He has lived as an artist since the early 1950’s.
Daniel is considered by many art collectors to be the best classical impressionist in the world.
