Stéphane Prud’homme, also known as stépru, is a Montreal-based abstract painter who explores the tension between structure and spontaneity. His sweeping gestures, dense textures, and vivid colors evoke emotional landscapes and the raw force of nature.

Working mostly with a knife, stépru layers paint in thick, expressive strokes, letting texture speak. Deep blues, vibrant greens, and bursts of orange and red collide on the canvas, creating dynamic, tactile surfaces. Self-taught and instinctive, he welcomes chance and embraces the present moment. Each work captures the intangible—breath, energy, the balance between chaos and calm.

Abstract yet deeply evocative, his pieces bring bold emotion to both contemporary and tranquil interiors.
