Biography
My name is Massimo Meo and I am a Montreal-based multidisciplinary artist working primarily in fields of painting and film. I am self-taught and hold a BFA of Film Studies from Concordia University.
Through much experimentation, I have cultivated techniques that utilize a variety of mediums. Mediums include, but not limited to inks, watercolor, and acrylic to achieve the desired effect. To keep it simple, my art is exactly what you see. The process has always been an escape and in many ways it is a controlled experiment.
I may subconsciously create according to a mood or feeling, however I never aim to label my work with any concrete themes. Colors are laced with so many subtle yet deeply complex feelings, triggered by both memory and instinct. Perhaps the color blue evokes a sense of sadness, but to another eye it may arouse ideas of purity. And if purity is what the viewer may see, then purity is what it is.
Art may be entirely subjective, but I hope what I create will have a positive effect on whomever may see it. I’d like the viewer to be visually attracted to the work and be able to feel whatever emotion the piece may provoke.
