Artist statment / Artistic approach

Yvon Jolivet was born in Quebec (Canada). Young man, he was interested in art and especially in ink and charcoal drawing. At this time, few of his drawings were then exhibited in cafes and other public places in Quebec. Few years later, he studied science and worked for several years as a research professional in the field of applied climatology. He teaches science at the University of Sherbrooke and the University of Quebec.


Now, Yvon Jolivet has devoted himself for several years to artistic photography. His approach tends to highlight the natural environment by the symbolism that emerges from structures. For him, “everything that belongs to nature has a meaning”. He find this meaning of things and his inspiration through literary works written by authors from different cultures, especially through poetry, philosophy and science. Because he believes that we are fundamentally a part of humanity, so we can share a perception of the things around us and be understood by almost all.
Since 2016, his photographs were awarded nearly 40 international honors in seven countries.
