Montreal, Quebec

(b. 1997)

Celt Duk [K-elt Duke] is a self-taught artist from Montreal. Inspired by her cross-country travels along with her vivid imagination, each piece is an exploration of the interconnectedness of all that is, seen and unseen.

Fascinated by the science of colour and light, she began to practice the craft at a very young age. By carefully studying her subjects while developing her skills, she worked towards expanding her boundaries of artistic expression, eventually manifesting an immersive world of spellbinding landscapes, portraits, and sketches which immediately gained her an audience among the art lovers in her community.

At the age of 15, Celt began to paint hyper-realistic pieces, inviting the viewer to explore the world as she sees it. Astounded by the intricacies of her surroundings, she was able to seamlessly combine the richness of nature and the animal kingdom with the unseen wonders of the universe.

As her audience began to grow, requests for commissions started to pour in. She went on to exhibit her work in art shows and establish her presence online, leading to her first few jobs as a muralist and illustrator.

With an undeniable desire to travel, Celt continues to work hard toward her next goal. She hopes to transition from her stationary studio to a mobile version, allowing her to explore the world and share it through her art.
