Biography

Born into a family that originated in France and immigrated to Canada, Denis Grosjean entered the world and was raised in North Battleford, Saskatchewan, Canada.

Recognizing Denis' interest in art at the age 15 years, his Mother took him to meet Mannie Gonsalves, who had the Heritage Gallery at the Chinook Mall in Calgary, Alberta. During this meeting, Mr. Gonsalves presented a just completed original oil painting depicting a beautiful life like pheasant in flight. Denis was so impressed by the realism, he had to touch it! He found that the painting was still wet and apologized profusely for having altered the painting. There was automatic forgiveness, a smile and a cloth to wipe his hands with the reassurance it could be fixed. In that brief moment, Denis learned of humility, kindness, patience and humour. All characteristics of an artist who became Denis' greatest inspiration to persue his passion for painting.

The discovery of Denis' niche in oil painting at the age of 15 years, has carried on as his preferred medium.

Denis' style concentrates on luminous effects, detail and depth. More often than not, admirers of his original works are drawn into the painting, "So much so, you feel like you are there." Consistently, pleasant memories and present aspects of admirers lives are also evoked by Denis' original works.

A self taught fine Artist, Denis went on to sell his earlier works to private collectors within and in the surrounding areas of Princeville, Quebec, Canada. These earlier works were of bold strokes with heavy paint which he still paints but are not the focus of his creativity. In fact, landscapes including water, abstracts and western scenes (which have been complimentary mistaken for C. Russell) are Denis' most gratifying creations.

Throughout the years, Denis' original works have been shown in Canadian Art galleries located in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

Encouragement from his wife, family and friends has won over the modesty which has kept the art of Denis Grosjean Canada's best kept secret. Denis Grosjean is ready to share the fruits of his extraordinary talent.

Captured by the exquisite beauty of British Columbia, Denis has remained in British Columbia, Canada as a dedicated full time artist.
