Born
in Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean in 1965.
Sacha left his native region for Montreal,
obtained a bachelor's degree in graphic design in 1982 from
the University of Quebec in Montreal, and worked in the visual
arts field for numerous advertising firms. He taught private
painting classes until he decided to devote himself entirely
to his art. He has since exhibited in galleries in Montreal
and the Outaouais region.
He has traveled throughout Canada,
the United States, and Latin America, rebuilding his palette
of colors and reaffirming his style. Upon his return to Quebec,
he moved to the countryside where he found not only the colors
he had experienced in his travels, but also the joy of painting.
He works with color in such a way
as to keep its original purity, thereby giving the subject
its unique shape, texture, and light, all applied "almost
flat." Hence, the colors are allowed to express themselves.
