Étienne Martin is a Montreal-based visual artist known for his vibrant and eclectic creations. Through the use of bright colours and collage techniques, Étienne’s works are like a burst of energy that captivates the viewer. In collaboration with artist Julien Fortin, he created the mural adorning the iconic Patati-Patata restaurant in the Plateau-Mont-Royal neighbourhood. Born in 1977 and raised in Sainte-Adèle, Étienne Martin is a self-taught artist inspired by Picasso, Soutine, Modigliani, Basquiat and Van Gogh. However, his art goes beyond emulation as he constantly experiments and pushes his boundaries. Étienne is an artist and an explorer, deeply connected to his Quebec heritage.
