Why does one become an artist? The series "The Inspired" poses this question to Quebec painter Yoakim Bélanger
October 3, 2021

Third episode of our series "The Inspired", a series of portraits of artists created by Xavier Ziomek and Viviane de Laveleye. Intimate encounters around creativity. The Inspired is an attempt to return to the origins, in four episodes. This week, an encounter with painter Yoakim Bélanger. Each portrait in the series "The Inspired" is the result of an encounter, whether it be a former teacher (Bernard Gigounon - ERG) or a famous next-door neighbor (Louis Joos). A proximity that allows for confidences. Xavier and Viviane met Yoakim Bélanger while the couple was living in Quebec. The painter has a very humble and very open vision of creativity. But art is a lifelong commitment that he needed to mark in his signature.
