Virginie Schroeder


An expert in both color and composition, French artist Virginie Schroeder started her successful artistic career after moving to Canada in 2009. She creates textural pop art-inspired paintings that are both abstract and photorealistic, while also being surprisingly playful. Schroeder's artworks are made to inspire new artistic visions, impressing with their stunning technical execution.

Schroeder’s work begins with a realistic sketch which is then deconstructed to her signature striations. Working meticulously, she applies layer upon layer of acrylic and oil paint with a syringe. She reworks each line with a knife to create precise lines. Depth is created by the variation of color and finish.

Her work has been exhibited internationally in Canada, France, the UK, Hong Kong, and the United States.

Schroeder’s work begins with a realistic sketch which is then deconstructed to her signature striations. Working meticulously, she then applies layer upon layer of acrylic and oil paint with a syringe.  She then reworks each line with a knife to create precise lines.  Depth is created by the variation of color and finish.

When a face, an animal, a landscape, or any other subject is evacuated of its linear structure, it acquires a completely different form, a different identity and dimension, and a new prestige. One does not recognize it at first sight; it emerges as the very process of observation. It is here that the magic occurs, as the viewer consciously discovers a work of abstract character in vivid color which plays upon the tension between the figurative and the imaginary.
