Danielle Tremblay Visual Artist CANADA
tremblay.art@gmail.com www.tremblayart.ca Danielle Tremblay views a blank canvas as she does any new experience, as an adventure. Her approach to art reflected a belief in freedom of true and uninhibited expression, exploration beyond the habitual, excavation of the self to prepare space for innovation. The process of painting serves as a springboard. She begins by tossing colour onto the white space, spreading , rotating the canvas, finding its orientation, allowing a sensation to evolve, ‘listening’ to the musicality that emerges from the mayhem of her random brushstrokes. Life experiences, random encounters, souls united by affairs of the heart, all linked by colour. And it is a magical amalgamation of brushstroke, paint texture, and colour that pulls together these experiences, giving life to their similarities and eccentricities. Danielle Tremblay attended Frère Jérôme’s - colleague of noted Canadian artist, Borduas - studio for the 25 years, during which time she completed a Bachelor in Fine Arts degree at Montreal’s Concordia University. She now attends Atelier du Geste in Montreal, run by artist Andrée Bonard, a studio with a similar mission to that of Frère Jérôme’s as well as her: develop the individual, inherent creative potential. She has had several solo and group exhibitions.

Alexandre Zaghetto was born in São Paulo, Brazil, and currently works as an Associate Professor at the Department of Computer Science of the University of Brasília (UnB). He received the Electronics Engineering degree from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 2002, and the M.Sc. and D.Sc. degrees from the University of Brasilia, Brazil, in 2004 and 2009, respectively, both in Electrical Engineering. His main research interests are in image and video processing, artificial neural networks, fuzzy logic and biometrics. He is also member of the Computational Arts research group at UnB. He studied painting with Sônia de Oliveira Ângelo at Mângelo’s Atelier, in Brasília. His dedication to art comes from his belief that the creative impulse that inspires artists is the same impulse that enables scientific insights. In other words, scientific and artistic productions are two different manifestations of the same principle. In addition, he also thinks that art offers a way to escape the suffering that results from what the philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer called WILL.
