Jude’s painting reflects a strong desire to imprint his visions of his life, heritage and Canada onto his paintings like can be seen in his love for some sculptures in Quebec City.
He draws on what he calls Canadian colours to create his images. Jude paints ordinary people engaged in ordinary activities to draw attention, nature and its connection with humans to what is extraordinary in life. His technique involves a juxtaposition of points/Dots and brushstrokes along with brilliant colours.
Jude lives and works in Canada.
