CHAMPS DE MARS

CHAMPS DE MARS - 48” X 36” This painting was inspired by a previous creation, PARC BELMONT part of the LIBERATORE collection. It represents many of Montreal’s main attractions such as the Old City, which is where the Champs de Mars metro station can be found, and the Old Port of Montreal. You can also catch a glimpse of the clock tower, the Jacques-Cartier bridge, the ferris wheel, the Five Roses flour plant, etc. Textures created from burlap, plaster and a map of the Montreal metro network. Of course, I zoomed in on the Champs de Mars station.
