The Artist

MD Antoine is an Ottawa contemporary artist who creates paintings that explore the relationship between composition and narrative.

​

Whether working through abstraction, portraiture, or simplified form, the work investigates how placement, colour, rhythm, balance, and negative space shape emotional experience.

​​

Each painting develops through observation, experimentation, and response, allowing unexpected relationships to emerge until the composition begins to reveal its own story.

Between Forms

A body of work where abstraction meets interruption, with fracture and surface as the subject. Each work stands on its own while contributing to a larger body of work, inviting viewers to find their own meaning in the spaces between form, gesture, and perception.
