Marie Bergeron — Montreal, Canada

“I think everyone has a different reference on pop culture. It all depends on the individual and what they follow/talk about within their own ‘bubble’, which can be a huge one. To me, pop culture is related to what I consume most: films, video games and series. A majority of the people I follow do the same. The more people talk about it, the more it creates a culture itself. Therefore, I create what I consume, what inspires me. What, in a way, speaks to others within that same bubble.”

Born and raised in Montreal (1985), Marie was quickly looking for a more creative approach in her life. She studied cinematography for a few years before getting into university. Then, with not much to show and little knowledge in the design field, she managed with hard work to be accepted at the École de Design where she experienced her best years as a young artist. Once out, she dedicated most of her time to creating, trying stuff, building up a portfolio. As a freelancer, her style is inspired by many things, including films and games. Somehow, a more graphic approach contrasted with organic strokes. She always tries to focus the eye on one particular subject, sometimes complex yet simple. And working with digital tools suits her best.
