SAMUEL RANCOURT
Welcome to my portfolio and to the heart of my creative universe.
My passion for painting was sparked by my grandmother, who introduced me to the fundamentals of the craft and passed down her love for artistic expression. Since then, painting has become far more than a creative act : it is an essential channel for translating my emotions and capturing sensitivity through atypical, colorful, and vibrant characters.
I love merging different mediums to transform my canvases into true living experiences. Whether they take the stage in theater productions (as in the play Bienvenue au show-colat) or become the core of music videos blending painting, music, and dance (such as my projects Futur zéro and Tika Tika Tak), my creations never exist in isolation.
This artistic fluidity is no coincidence. Alongside painting, I pursue a career as an actor and host. Notably, I have had the pleasure of hosting ICI Les Archives (Radio-Canada), Le savais-tu ? (TOU.TV), Aujourd'hui l'histoire (ICI Première), as well as the documentary L’œuvre de Gabrielle Roy (ARTV).
