Visual Art – Montréal
Although currently based in Montreal, visual artist Denise Buisman Pilger is a frequent globetrotter, taking each relocation as an opportunity to explore the world, gathering inspiration for her urban photo-collages along the way. Exhibiting and selling her work prolifically in North America and Europe over the past several years, Denise has proudly exhibited her work at the 2011 Salon de la Société nationale des beaux-arts at the Carrousel du Louvre in Paris, and at Ward-Nasse Gallery in Soho, New York City.
Her creative practice spans more than decade, beginning with several years as a professional graphic designer and art director for print media, both in Europe and North America. This sensibility is reflected in her current body of work both aesthetically and technically. From her home-based studio, she produces city-scapes that are graphic, contemporary and yet, nostalgic.
Originally from the Netherlands, Denise has a Bachelor of Arts in Illustration from Willem de Kooning Academy of Arts in Rotterdam, and continues to pursue creative professional development to stay on top of new techniques and materials. She occasionally offers artist talks and technique classes in her community.
A dynamic on-line presence keeps Denise connected to her family, friends and followers in North America and abroad through her up-to-date website, frequent blog posts and social media activities, making the artist and her work easily accessible.
