    In La Matière et l’Esprit, Marie-Josée Roy brings together painting, engraving, and sculpture in a powerful dialogue between the physical and the intangible. Her works channel both strength and vulnerability, where metal, line, and gesture become vessels for emotion. Through fire, texture, and touch, she explores the deep connection between body and spirit, material and memory.
     
    “Each piece is born of a fragile and powerful encounter. A fragment of soul, a suspended moment, a trace offered to those who pause long enough to listen. The work becomes a threshold — a place where time slows, where we breathe differently, and where we remember what we are, before words.”
     

    — Marie-Josée Roy

    Born in Trois Rivières, Québec, and working in the De Saguenay area, Marie-Joseé Roy has established herself as a successful artist on the Canadian scene after first gaining popularity within Montreal's underground art scene. Marie-Josée Roy works as both a painter and sculptor, employing metal as her primary material. She has focused her artistic approach on breathing life into this otherwise inert medium.
     
    In her latest body of work, the artist explores transitions and transformations, where unlikely unions are formed. Continuing her long-lasting dialogue with metal, the acclaimed Marie-Josée Roy plays on the strength of her chosen medium, using its permanence to depict the transitory nature of existence. Seemingly as light as a feather, her works illustrate life as movement in process, sculpting the genesis of mankind.
