“My work operates prior to meaning, in the conditions where form, movement, and structure emerge before they can be understood or named.
My artistic research informs how I observe perception, attention, and cognitive patterns — a perspective that shapes my work in executive coaching.”
Marie-Eve Dugas is an emerging contemporary abstract painter based in Quebec, Canada. Her practice centers on the exploration of pre-sense states: moments where tension, movement and form exist prior to language or conceptual clarity.
Working through embodied gesture and layered material, she approaches painting as a site of instability. The works do not seek resolution or balance, but instead remain open, allowing residual tensions and unfinished forms to persist. This approach positions the painting as a threshold, where meaning has not yet settled.
Currently entering early private collections, Marie-Eve Dugas’s work reflects the initial phase of a broader artistic trajectory. Her paintings offer collectors the opportunity to engage with a developing practice grounded in contemporary abstraction and a sustained inquiry into the conditions that precede form and sense.
