Yasmeen Kanaan is a Palestinian artist currently working in Montreal. Her meticulous oil paintings unflinchingly depict themes of resistance, endurance, and humanity in a collection that provokes deep contemplation and inspires hope for a better future. 

When you look at François Lacas' work, where does it take you? For many, his paintings evoke a place that feels just out of memory's reach, yet deeply familiar and comforting. Let yourself be drawn into each scene. Marvel at the skill behind every brushstroke, his masterful use of colour, perspective, and light. The result is more than a landscape; it's the memory of fresh air, the sound of leaves underfoot, the warmth of the sun, and the cool breeze kissing your cheek.

Across the northern regions of the world, from Scandinavia to Japan, from the Canadian to the Scottish Highlands, the long, cold nights of winter trigger a similar instinct. It’s a time to turn inward, to surround ourselves with the things that nourish our souls: the warmth of a well-loved armchair, the solace of a captivating book, the comfort of a simmering stew, and the silent dialogue we have with a piece of art hanging on our wall.
