The Intriguing Figurative Paintings of LISA G.
LISA G is a contact of mine on Facebook. Her work is beautiful, playful, thoughtful and engaging. I just can’t spend enough time with her work.
Many of her paintings are oil on fabric. I’d love to see them in person. Her colors are so rich and vibrant, they truly sing.
LISA G was born in Montreal Canada and painted for many years. She is a self taught artist. She says “In fact I believe that I can express myself only through form and painting. It is a universal language by which all my emotions passes from my mind. It is my way of existing, my breath.”
Many of her painting tell interesting stories that hold your attention, I’m often afraid I might miss something if I don’t take my time. It seems she is a prolific artist with much to say. Her work has a dream like quality that carries you to a different place if only for a heartbeat. Isn’t that what art is meant to do? Take us outside of ourselves?
There seems to be a fish, bird or some animal in each piece. Many times all are flying, contributing to the other worldly feeling evoked by her art.
There are so many piece of work to choose from, it was difficult for me to decide which ones to share with you here. If you enjoyed these, I know you’ll enjoy her blog. The site is in French, you can enter the address into this translator to read it in your language.
Many thanks to Lisa for allowing me to share her work with you. You can become her fan on facebook.

You are so right. Thoughtful, yet playful. Those faces…. can’t describe what they’re saying. The eyes have that look, like, don’t even be going there, I know why.
The painting with the flying man… I’ve seen that in a painting before, but was so different. In this painting it looks right. Why of coarse he’d fly….
PJ I think that is what I always hope to find in dream like artwork, a sense that it is exactly what should be happening. It happens in my dreams doesn’t it? LISA G has stepped inside my head for some of her “other world” paintings.
Beautiful! Love the rich colors and elongated faces.
