Artist statment / Artistic approach
Yvon Jolivet was born in Quebec (Canada). Very young, he is interested in art and especially in drawing. On the other hand, he studied science and worked for several years as a research professional in the field of applied climatology. He also teaches science sporadically at the Université de Sherbrooke and the Université du Québec de Rimouski.
Now, Yvon Jolivet has devoted himself for several years to artistic photography. Since few years, Yvon Jolivet is a professional member of RAAV (Regroupement des artistes en arts visuels du Québec) and CARFAC (Canadian Artists Representation). His approach tends to highlight the natural environment by the symbolism that emerges. Since 2016, his photographs were awarded nearly 30 international honors.
