Born in Miami, Cynthia Coulombe Bégin grew up in Quebec City, Canada, where she earned a Bachelor of Visual Arts in 2006 from Laval University. Starting very young, her parents focused a great deal on both the arts and athletics, which helped her develop her own mode of expression.

Coulombe Bégin's dynamic acrylic on canvas works seek to produce a metamorphic interpretation of the artist's inner identity. Her paintings amply use contrasting colors to create exuberance and energy in her images. Inspired by street art, Cynthia's paintings range from the abstract to the surreal and employ a variety of techniques and materials. The artist’s contemporary artworks draw inspiration from body image, the universally recognizable symbol of hearts, and the experience of humankind. Through her work, she shares her perspective on the universe, consciousness, matter, and the soul. Using portraiture, temporal effects, and textures, she examines the body and its evolution in her research.

“My creative approach focuses on the metamorphic interpretation of our inner identity in the face of our projected image. I am inspired by the fragmented body envelope that I mark with a spontaneous gesture of vibrant colors. The experience of painting leads me to look different, to self-discovery, to astonishment. A movement from the outside to the inside is drawn, the feeling of a quest for invisible energy, a marriage of body and mind. I explore the limits of figuration imprinted with textures and movement effects.”
