Gabrielle Castonguay
Gabrielle S. Castonguay is an enamelist from Montreal. Impassioned by enameling since the age of 11, she went on to study fine art and design. She has acquired considerable knowledge and a mastery of traditional enameling techniques through numerous apprenticeships and applications.
Guided by the desire to explore, her goal has been, for several years, to deepen her techniques in the art of enamel in untraditional ways. Her approach in the treatment of the fusion of glass and metal is both contemporary and exploratory while cultivating a control of the classical and traditional techniques. The
application of these innovations can be found in each of her creations with a desire for unity in the composition of form and image. She searches for remarkable textures and degrees of luster, coloration and oxidization to produce inimitable effects, creating extended contrasts. Her creations emerge from universes of colors, transparences, and opaques, from depth and light. Mined from the depths of the earth, the glass, metal and fire inspire her to create pieces where atmosphere and imagery reveal traces of an art thousands of years old, perfected and sustained in time, where our passage on earth reveals a sense of the sacred.
