PRODUCT OF MY ENVIRONMENT
Géraldini ‘Dino’ Desmornes is an artist whose practice moves between drawing, digital composition, painting and public space. Born in Haiti and raised in Montréal, he now works from Edmonton. Basketball developed a discipline of repetition and collective work that continues in the studio. His portraits and abstract figures explore memory, identity and environment across canvas, aluminum, murals and illuminated installations. Évasion and Euphoria mark that movement from studio work to shared space. Atelier Dino brings this practice to original works, private commissions and site-specific projects.
Discipline
High-level basketball taught repetition, rigour, collective work and performance under pressure.
Practice
Drawings became digital compositions, works on aluminum, paintings, murals and installations. Product of My Environment connects every scale of that practice.
