❈ ABOUT VIE ❈

Flavie Gratton (Vie) is a visual artist from Québec, Canada, currently based in Manitoba. Working primarily in watercolor and oil painting, she creates symbolic and narrative artworks mainly inspired by the fictional universes that have shaped her imagination since childhood.

​

Before establishing her independent practice in 2023, Flavie spent nearly a decade as a 3D artist in the video game industry, contributing to major productions. Today, she brings that same passion for worldbuilding and visual storytelling into her traditional art, creating paintings where observation and imagination intertwine.

 

Grounded in observation yet guided by fantasy, her paintings transform the physical world, personal experiences, and emotions into symbolic figures and dreamlike narratives. Defined by palettes of pinks, fluid forms, and layered traditional techniques, her work explores themes of resilience, femininity, and the delicate balance between beauty and darkness.

​

Her original paintings are held in private collections across Canada, and she continues to create original works and commissions for collectors and lovers of narrative art.
