DENIS MAYER
Canadian artist Denis Mayer Jr. has earned international acclaim for his unique style of wildlife
painting
that offers not only remarkably
realistic representations but also images infused with
energy, vitality
and warmth.
A native of Québec City, Denis knew from childhood that he would be an artist. He initially worked
with his father, a commercial sign painter.
This training served as a foundation as he privately
explored
drawing in charcoal, bringing his talent for capturing detail to depictions of both
still
lifes and
built structures. He then worked for many years creating accurate and appealing
architectural
renderings
as well as commercial illustrations for advertising.
Having achieved success as a master illustrator, Denis looked for and found his greatest challenge
and passion - wildlife painting.
Inspired by the work of Belgian naturalist and artist Carl Brenders,
Denis now works exclusively as a wildlife artist,
using mixed media and limited colours that
reflect what he sees as the natural palette.
His work conveys a deep respect for Nature's creations through precise and faithful renderings
of animals, birds and habitat
that are true to even the smallest detail. Denis may work for
months to ensure that what he sees in his painting is what his heart truly feels.
Denis makes his own reproductions; creating giclées (digitally produced fine art prints)
of his
work and these, along with his original paintings,
can be seen internationally
and are
sought after by private collectors.
A dedicated conservationist and member of the international organization, Artists for
Conservation, Denis has contributed to fundraising
for organizations that include World
Wildlife Federation Canada, Québec Wildlife Federation, and the Art of Nature.
His work was selected for the Art Portfolio through Ducks Unlimited in 2007-2009.
Denis lives in Vancouver, British Columbia with his wife and three children and loves
to walk
the area's woodland trails with his kids.
He also listens to both live and
recorded music
and is passionate about Italian opera which he plays
while he is working.
A favourite pastime for Denis is singing operatic music.
