gallery scene 1 N adia Bechirian-Tiseo began her career after completing her Fine Arts degree at Concordia University in Montreal, QC. Since then she has been creating art across all channels of visual communication. She earned a living for the following years in the image and design industry and raising a family. In 2004, she decided to dedicate herself exclusively to her art making, and began her second career as a painter. She immediately emerged to participate in nationally acclaimed group shows, featured in solo exhibitions in several galleries, and won numerous awards. Her artwork is now part of private collections in Canada and in the USA.

Her academic training, versatility in the Old Masters techniques and her ability to combine a variety of contemporary mediums allows her to express herself freely in her artwork. The content or narrative of her works is a reflection of her studies on Memory and Perception. Her process is intuitive, abstract and ethereal just like writing music. Beyond the initial seduction of the viewer’s senses, the core of every painting remains an elaborate document on the subject of perception.

gallery scene 2 Her style is unique, intricate in design, highly textured, and holds a subtle sense of humour. The themes elaborated in her series dictates the choice of mediums she uses; she prefers to use mixed media for her artworks on paper, and acrylics, oils or encaustic for her painted canvases. She occasionally makes collages, produces mono prints, and keeps on exploring new ways of creating images combining technology.

She is an artist whose artwork exudes joy, celebrates the exuberance of nature, and a brilliant colorist who creates an art both vigorous and contemplative.
