Gilles Archambault was born in Montreal in 1947 and grew up in the St. Henri district of the city. Gilles has been a full-time artist since 1979 and, although he grew up in the city, most of his paintings reflect his love for rural life, capturing moments in time familiar to us all. Gilles' subject matter varies from fishing boats to cowboys, landscapes and portraits. Gilles works in water colour, acrylic and oil, and is a founding member of the Société Canadienne de l'Aquarelle (S.C.A.).

Gilles' artistic vision has been showcased in solo and group exhibitions throughout Canada, the United States, and in France. His work has been featured on over forty book and art magazine covers and has been reproduced in over twenty limited editions. Gilles' paintings are found in corporate and private collections in Canada, the United States, Europe and the Middle East. Commissions are available.
