El artista canadiense Denis Mayer Jr. se ha ganado fama internacional
por su estilo único de pintar la vida silvestre que ofrece no sólo
representaciones notablemente realistas sino también imágenes infundidas
con energía, vitalidad y calidez.Nacido en Québec, Denis sabía desde la infancia que sería artista. Trabajó inicialmente con su padre, un pintor de señales comerciales. Este
entrenamiento sirvió de base al explorar en privado el dibujo en el
carbón vegetal, trayendo su talento para capturar detalles a
descripciones de naturalezas muertas y estructuras construidas. Luego trabajó durante muchos años creando representaciones
arquitectónicas precisas y atractivas, así como ilustraciones
comerciales para publicidad. Conservacionista dedicado y miembro de la organización internacional, Artists for Conservation, Denis ha contribuido a la recaudación de
fondos para organizaciones que incluyen la World Wildlife Federation de Canada, Québec Wildlife Federation, y Art of Nature. Su trabajo fue seleccionado para el Art Portfolio a través de Ducks Unlimited en 2007-2009. Denis
vive en Vancouver, Columbia Británica con su esposa y sus tres hijos y
le encanta caminar por los senderos de la zona con sus hijos. También escucha música en vivo y grabada y es un apasionado de la ópera italiana que el mismo canta mientras trabaja.Habiendo
logrado el éxito como un maestro ilustrador, Denis buscó y encontró su
mayor reto y pasión: la pintura de vida silvestre. Inspirado
en la obra del belga naturalista y artista Carl Brenders, Denis trabaja
ahora exclusivamente como artista de la fauna, utilizando medios mixtos
y colores limitados que reflejan lo que él ve como la paleta natural.
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.
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.
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.
