Guy Roy is a landscape painter who has been painting for over 40 years. Roy was born in East Broughton in the Thetford Mines region, on April 8, 1948. After his primary studies, he began secondary studies in Quebec and then trained in psychology at Laval University, where he obtained a bachelor's degree in 1971. He taught this discipline for two years at the Collège de la Région de l'Amiante and then directed his career towards a consulting service, a position he held for 32 years before retiring in April 2003. In 1982, Guy discovered painting quite by chance: it was love at first sight. He regularly attended Raymond Lachance's studio in Thetford Mines for four years and continued his training at the Moulin des Arts, in Saint-Étienne de Lauzon, with Marcel Rousseau. Simultaneously, he follows intensive sessions with other painters (Jean-Paul Ladouceur, Maurice Lebon, Nicole Foreman, etc. Painting makes him discover an unknown world, but so fascinating. The more I paint, he says, the more I enjoy painting. This new passion, Guy transposes it in these paintings: light, bright colors, contrasts and large formats characterize him. The stronger the contrasts, he adds, the more the light pops. You have to dare and, above all, paint to have fun. I discovered in painting a mode of expression that sticks to my skin . Guy never stops discovering. Painting is a constant search. You have to overcome your fears, develop your spontaneity and, above all, take risks while accepting error. What is marvelous in painting is to be able to start over and say to yourself: This one, I'm going to succeed. However, you have to accept your own limits and disappointments by trying to overcome them with each new brushstroke.
