Description
An abstract painting titled Empreinte (2) by Monique Voyer, R.C.A., executed in 2009. The composition presents a softly luminous field of pale yellow and cream tones animated by layered passages of muted green, blue, and ochre. Thickly applied acrylic paint creates a tactile surface, with visible palette-knife work and raised impasto forming an organic, almost relief-like structure across the panel.

Catalogue Note
Monique Voyer is a Canadian abstract artist whose work emphasizes materiality, gesture, and the expressive potential of surface. In her later paintings, she frequently explored the concept of the “empreinte” – a mark, trace, or imprint – using layered acrylic and impasto to create compositions that balance structure with spontaneity.
