Confirmed Competitors
Art Battle Montreal
12 confirmed artists
Carlos Eduardo Torres Pérez
Carlos is a Venezuelan artist based in Montreal who works across video, photography, aquarelle, drawing, and digital art. He builds expressive, colorful characters that turn real-life feelings into imaginative inner worlds. Lately he’s been diving into identity and the mind, playing with the tension between bold emotions and the bright, joyful colors he loves.
CreaPraTics
CreaPraTics is a self‑taught multidisciplinary artist working across multiple mediums. He is active in three nonprofits—Spasme, a parallel learning center, and Art River—supporting people with disabilities and mental health challenges. His work centers on healing, expression, and community connection.
Julien Royer
Julien Royer is a multidisciplinary artist from Quebec, currently studying full-time as an undergraduate student majoring in Sculpture at the Concordia Studio Arts program. He is always trying to find new ways and opportunities to experiment with his works and make what he does as diverse and as accessible as possible to the public. He wishes to show how art can simultaneously be something that anyone can benefit from while also being a source of deeper reflection and discussion.
Laurent lavaill
📍 Montréal, QC, CA
Laurent, inspired by expressionists like Soutine, Chagall, and Modigliani, as well as Catalan artists such as Dalí and Miró, embraces a non-conformist artistic approach. In his quest to suggest rather than show, he uses a minimal number of strokes to evoke feeling and emotion. His work features sharp contrasts and complementary hues, with primary colors mixed directly on the canvas to maintain spontaneity in color and texture. Layers of paint applied with a knife create rich textures that reveal underlying pigments, giving his portraits a scratched, life-worn appearance.
Liza Pero
Liza is a Montréal‑based artist inspired by fables, sci‑fi, and horror. She creates characters and objects that blur the line between the imaginary and our fast‑paced world, finding beauty in chaos.
marven clerveau
Marven is an Afro-contemporary artist who has been active in the visual arts for over a decade, blending Realist, Expressionist, and Surrealist aesthetics. Influenced by Basquiat, Frida Kahlo, and Warhol, his early work explored themes of silence and isolation, shaped by his experiences with a speech impediment and scoliosis. Through self-portraiture and recurring motifs like metal rods, Marven reclaims space for atypical bodies and voices, using painting as a path to self-acceptance and identity.
Olivier Lambert
📍 Longueuil, QC, CA
Olivier returns to Art Battle! His abstract work emphasizes layering and the fluidity of paint.

VANIA TCHEKÔN
VANIA is a street artist based in Montreal since 2018. He got his start in the 2000s graffiti scene and later trained in General Arts. His work leans into a neo‑figurative style, pulling inspiration from movies, comics, photography, and the visual language of today’s pop culture.
VILO
VILO grew up in a home where art was part of everyday life, watching her mother paint. She created a series that highlighted the gentle strength of women, and along the way developed a signature mix of photography, vinyl‑canvas printing, and acrylics. In just three years, her work has appeared in about 15 exhibitions. Today, nature’s beauty sits at the center of her practice, as she continues to master the use of light in her finer details.
Yan D. Soloh
Yan D. Soloh, confirmed artist, autodidact, devotes himself exclusively to painting since the turn of the century. From his works emerge several sets of themes: the surrealism of Dali, the mystical onirism of Bosch, distressed expressionism of Munch and the religious iconography of Chagall. The artist uses different media, canvas, canvas-lins and synthetic canvas. As a medium, he uses oil and sometimes subtly incorporates acrylic.
Yasmine Halouane
Yasmine loves to draw and paint, and she hopes to get into ceramics someday. She enjoys the feel of pencils, pens, markers, and brushes, and loves playing with color, mixing shades, and seeing where each piece goes. She focuses on abstract art because she likes not knowing how a piece will turn out. She creates for fun but hopes to join Montreal craft markets and share her work with others.
