The Artist

PIERRE SURTES - born in 1944, in Northern Moravia, part of the former Czechoslovakia, obtained his education through the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague and later in Bratislava.

In 1980, for personal reasons the Artist decided to move to Canada. His residence for many years was in Montreal, where he developed a strong affinity for a cultural life in French Canada. After leaving the Province of Quebec, Pierre put into practice his longstanding interest in graphic design, which launched his commercial career in this field. However, in recent years, the Artist returned exclusively to creating and exhibiting Fine Art.

As a result of many years of study and a solid background of European experience, the Artist delivers an evidence of technical accuracy, flawless composition and creative integrity.

Parks and Gardens created by Pierre Surtes can be classified as the paintings in four dimensions.

Through his art we are offered the chance to glimpse a more idyllic, romantic universe – they are the outcome of quest for a vision of paradise regained. Imbued with an almost otherworldly atmosphere, each of his paintings reflects the aspirations and driving forces that create it.

The Artist’s application of light has the power to characterize and accent his exteriors; it can convey an aura of intimacy, provide a touch of sophistication and provocatively enhance all details with special effects.

Parks and Gardens of Surtes are symbols of eternity. Whether their appeal is cerebral or sensual, each is suffused with a feeling of enchantment – to enter them is to enter a dream world.
