“AVENTURE” – 60” x  40” – Acrylic and other materials on canvas.

This piece was custom-made for the Breton-Lefebvre family.  The household is well characterized by the strong union of each member as well as their appetite to discover the world.  Their preferred activities are symbolized by the badges on the suitcase well attached on the back rack.  One of them is an avid fan of golf, the lady is a scuba-diving graduate, the youngest is an expert soccer player and the eldest, a world traveler.   It is up to you to discern what represents who.   Also, the bottle of wine is a life metaphor that reminds us that it is imperative to enjoy a glass of wine after each outing.

Map of Italy, Quebec heritage’s items (Montreal’s metro map, picture of a typical “depanneur”, Parc Jean-Drapeau’s biosphere), articles on the ecology main role, lifestyle, etc.
