Troy Payne-Le Pessec
Biography
Born to young parents in 1993 and raised in Montreal, I have been creating for as long as I can remember. At the age of eight, I sold my first canvas through a local skate shop.
Growing up, my freedom of expression became the cornerstone of my stability during often unstable times. My upbringing was somewhat atypical, allowing me to witness Montreal’s underbelly and its inhabitants from a unique perspective.
Making art helps me transform the challenges and experiences I’ve accumulated over the years. It’s a means of bringing joy into my life. My personal philosophy is to experiment with as many mediums and subjects as possible; I believe that anything and everything can serve as a source of inspiration.
