Biography
ICA International - GMFA AIBAQ – RAAV – Official Artist FQSC
At the age of fifteen, she began to teach drawing, painting and ceramic classes in Quebec, Canada. Between 1974 to 1978, the young artist had participated in twenty-six television shows for the French broadcast alliance in Europe.
This formative period was followed by intensive studies in Art, Communication and Literacy in different universities and contexts.
In all her chronological series: OBJECTS FERTILES, FIGURANTS, ART SPORT and ARCHITECTURES CONTEMPORAINES - CLIMATIQUES, her creative register reflects a contemporary vision of the technological, environmental and sociological “phenomenas” of this time.
Recognized as a Grand Master in Fine Arts by international associations, her professional activities and extensive Repertoire have been published in different medias. Since 1972, the multidisciplinary artist received numerous titles, prizes, grants and honors for all her creations and advanced ideas.
"…She explores and excavates the matter in the search of a significant aesthetism which wants to be to be a lucid witness of the prints left by humanity in the heart of the men. In her art she seeks to plastically translate the hopes and contradictions of the human nature through sets of forms and lines where the color plays a crucial role." Galerie Contemporaine France 2012
A mission: ARTS in SPORTS and SPORTS in ARTS
"The expression of beauty in a physical performance or an act of creation depicts the survival effort for life and gives me this surprising sense of balance.” Malo
Identified as a "précurseure"* in sportive representations, MALO gave herself the mission to merge Arts in Sports and Sports in Arts.
Her overall sensibility and human body’s knowledge combined with an uncommon observation faculty have been developed for more than 45 years in career. This cumulated experience motivates her to unrevealed unsuspected aspects and links of the sportive world: performance, achievement, community, philanthropy, energy, balance between body and soul, childhood, friendship, humanity, liberty, consciousness and security are alternatively explored in the artist sport's artworks.
Since 2010, MALO becomes an active performer in major sports events. Accomplished athletes, organizations and public had commissioned her for original paintings and selected artworks have been reproduced on sport's clothing collections by designers since 2010.

“My artistic interest for active human groups and sport’s representations comes from my sportive background. As I travelled and lived in different countries, my art is based on the observation of humans being in their environments. Colors and lines are effective mediums to express identity and evolution.”
"Humans need to stay healthy and alert in this fast moving world: challenging my “personnages” is both a ludic and a prolific artistic experience." MALO
