Margot Roi

“I paint to remember joyous moments. I aim to establish emotional bridges, each one a reference to the places I’ve travelled, recalled settings, or the forms in nature I’ve found unique. I paint energetically to capture memories that form the essence of my sense of identity. Acrylic paint and stick media become the narrative for intuitive compositions that become guideposts for my colour choices. I view my canvas as a container for these intrinsic experiences. I’m inviting the viewer to wander around my responsive recollections to make connections to their own memory of place.”
Canadian abstract artist Margot Roi has been exhibiting her artwork for over 35 years in galleries, art fairs, the annual OOAK in Toronto & Toronto Artist Project.
