Born in Montreal in 1969, Guy Hamelin emerges as a multidisciplinary visual artist whose work explores the quest for emancipation. His journey, marked by challenges from a young age, guides him towards a pragmatic approach, pushing him to immerse himself in technical learning. His studies in hairstyling and coloring in Montreal and Toronto mark the starting point of a trajectory that leads him to stylist contracts on various film sets, thereby opening the door to his discovery of the worlds of photography and cinema.
This immersion in the world of imagery triggers a career change for Hamelin, leading him to establish himself in the field of corporate video and photography. Alongside his professional successes, he nurtures his artistic passion, turning to painting. His first series, "Ripple Effect," exploring the theme of awakening, earns him notable recognition with its publication in 2015 in the Canadian magazine Prestige Design. In 2017, his artistic journey is highlighted in a documentary broadcast on Radio Canada's Véro.tv platform, demonstrating his versatility and artistic openness.
Endowed with boundless curiosity, Hamelin experiments with a variety of materials, ranging from paint to resin to the sculpture of reclaimed objects. His unrestrained creativity materializes notably through the series "Je t’aime," exhibited by the Roccia gallery. This series explores the sometimes tumultuous twists and turns of the journey towards amorous liberation.
Currently residing and working in Val-David, Guy Hamelin sees his works integrated into prestigious private collections in Quebec, Canada, and the United States.
