Celine Cardineau
Artist Biography
Celine Cardineau is a visionary painter with twenty years of artistic practice. Celine came into this world with paradoxical gifts—a keen natural talent for observational drawing, and a deep-seated yearning to portray that which is imperceptible: the world of Spirit.
Celine’s loving family of mystics, artists, and adventurers encouraged her to develop these gifts and pursue her calling. Despite her family’s frequent uprooting, young Celine immersed herself in formal training whenever possible—attending community art classes, private lessons as a preteen, and an intensive arts-immersion high school in Santa Rosa, California.
Following this thorough foundation in visual fine arts, Celine moved to Montreal to explore the conceptual side of the creative process at Concordia University. She majored in Theatre Design (costumes, props, sets, puppetry) and interdisciplinary Studio Arts (video, papermaking, sculpture, and more).
This broad orbit of artistic exploration inevitably led her back to painting—the medium with which she most easily connects to the transcendent Creative Spirit, and allows the Voice of Truth to speak through her.
This Voice has commissioned Celine with a sacred directive as a painter:
To remind you, the viewer, of your True Essence.
Celine’s ethereal scenes of symbolic forms and natural beauty represent the pure, ineffable essence of your innermost Being. Each painting is a key to that place of inner knowing, your source of peace, perspective, clarity of intent, and purposeful direction in the chaos of life. Anchoring metaphysical ideals in physical space, Celine’s profoundly introspective artworks offer you the chance to re-center again and again.
“Time is a gift. Love is an art. Life is a prayer.” ~Celine Cardineau
Today, Celine resides in the vibrant heart of Montreal (or Tiohtià:ke, “where the currents unite”) in a custom home-studio, together with her magnificent feline-familiar and her beloved partner: a rebel storyteller, writer-director, and master of marionettes. Their synergistic collaboration grew into a multidimensional romance, in an ever-unfolding journey of creative self-mastery and sacred play. Immersed in this creative lifestyle, constantly attuning to the cosmic rhythms, Celine’s artistic practice evolves in correlation with her spiritual development.
As her capacity for abundance grows, she dreams of building her own temple to the creative spirit, as many visionary artists have done before her. A sanctuary for mindful art practices and co-creative futures.
