EXHIBITIONS
Each year, Le Centre culturel francophone de Vancouver is proud to present five exhibitions of the works of talented francophone and francophile artists from British Columbia, and sometimes from other provinces. These exhibitions give sculptors, painters, photographers and multidisciplinary artists the opportunity to showcase their work professionally in the library of Le Centre for 1-2 months.
Each exhibition opens with a public wine and cheese reception, free of charge, where visitors can meet and talk to the artist.
Current exhibitions can be visited during the regular opening hours at Le Centre culturel francophone de Vancouver.

About the exhibition
About the artist
Muriel suffers from pareidolia—don’t worry, it’s nothing serious—but she sees images in everything around her. Hearts, in particular, seem to emerge everywhere along her path.
These shapes, which have become a central theme in her artistic universe, inspired her to create a photographic and pictorial series around this universal symbol.
During the pandemic, Muriel challenged herself to paint a watercolor heart every day, as a message of love and connection during times of isolation and separation.
These hearts, shared on social media, sent as postcards, or kept as mementos of an extraordinary period, reflect her desire to spread love and kindness.
Today, most of these hearts are brought together in this exhibition. Each heart tells a story, ready to touch and resonate with those who encounter them. Far from the eyes, but never from the heart.

35% of the sales will be donated to the association of your choice:
-
Réseau Femmes Colombie-Britannique, to provide more financial support for projects and workshops dedicated to francophone women in British Columbia.
-
La Boussole, because I support their actions, offering French-language services to francophones in precarious situations or in need.
Born in France, Muriel Marc is a visual artist based in Comox, on Vancouver Island.
Surrounded by the sea, lakes, and mountains, she draws inspiration from the natural world, which seems to whisper fleeting secrets at every moment. From these fragile instants, she captures the essence, nuances, and emotions, delicately transposing them onto paper through techniques she holds dear.
Printmaking and watercolor are the languages through which Muriel shares her perspective on the world—a perspective imbued with softness and poetry that invites us to slow down and fully experience the present moment.
Watercolor holds a central place in Muriel's work and accompanies her on her creative explorations. This technique allows her to capture fleeting moments with unique sensitivity. By playing with water—an element she deeply loves—alongside light and pigments, her art often unveils surprises, creating effects of light and transparency.
Its spontaneity helps her seize colors, shapes, and atmospheres in the moment. Her works are fragments of time, visual narratives that immerse us in the simplicity of movement, the beauty, and the magic of the ephemeral.
