2025- 2026
Welcome | Bienvenue
I am a professional fine artist specializing in the engineering of mineral-based substrates to explore the physics of the Artemis space mission and the evolution of non-human intelligence.
My creative process exists at the intersection of rigorous research and expressive painting. Transitioning from a twenty-five-year career in the structured worlds of banking and real estate to my current immersion in space science, I approach every canvas as a visual thesis. My current series, 'The Observer and the Cosmos,' is informed by field studies at the Kennedy Space Center and the upcoming Artemis II mission—a historic milestone where Ontario’s own Jeremy Hansen will represent the Canadian vantage in lunar exploration.
Mon processus de création se situe à l'intersection de la recherche rigoureuse et de la peinture expressive. Forte d'un parcours de vingt-cinq ans dans les secteurs structurés de la finance et de l'immobilier, j'aborde désormais chaque toile comme une thèse visuelle, nourrie par ma passion pour les sciences de l'espace. Ma série actuelle, « L'Observateur et le Cosmos », s'inspire de mes recherches sur le terrain au Kennedy Space Center et de la mission Artemis II — un moment historique où l’Ontarien Jeremy Hansen représentera la perspective canadienne dans l'exploration lunaire.
Margueritte Tonbazian: Narrative Futurism
The Convergence of Analytical Discipline & Artistic Vision
"My practice is a rigorous investigation into the intersection of human consciousness, physics, and the scientific imagination. Moving beyond traditional abstraction into Futuristic Surrealism, I explore the 'Shared Cognition' between our terrestrial origins and the emerging intelligence of the Artemis era."
The Masterclass Studio: Bespoke Material Chemistry
"Every canvas is a unique laboratory. Rejecting mass-production, I develop non-identical technical recipes for every story I tell. By layering Transparents, Oxides, Cadmiums, and Iridescents with structural marble dust and cold wax, I create archival-grade assets designed to endure as a dialogue with time."
2026 Strategy: A Global Inquiry
"Following field research at the Kennedy Space Center, my 2026 trajectory is defined by a singular niche: documenting the emotional and mathematical bridge ($1.618$) between the human observer and the infinite cosmos. I invite collectors to participate in a finite, evolving narrative—a documented inquiry into our cosmic future."
Color is a language that carries emotion—an unspoken dialogue between the subject and the artist, and then between the art and its observer. In my practice, I view color as a vessel that stores action and reaction, holding the energy of the moment it captures. Through photography and the initial sketch, color freezes that emotion in time; through the painting process, it transforms into something deeper—something felt. What begins as a single instant becomes a lasting impression shaped by memory, sensation, and the shifting chemistry of our perception.
This is where the moment becomes art: through personalization. As an artist, I interpret these shared scenes through my own experiences, instincts, and emotional lens—filtering the 2026 zeitgeist into a unique visual expression. In my current work, I am exploring how iridescent pigments and interference layers can mimic the "forward energy" of the world in motion. This personal translation elevates color from something we see to something we feel, allowing the artwork to live beyond time and speak a different truth to every observer.
My concepts are born in the shift between dimensions. While in motion—driving through the rhythmic rise and fall of the Ontario landscape—the present moment suspends, and the world transforms. Whether it is the golden explosion of a sunflower field or the collective energy of geese rising from the water, these fragments of reality collide with speed to spark new narratives. My work captures these 'suspended moments,' where ordinary scenes are elevated into cosmic storytelling.
Margueritte's art speaks to my soul, capturing the essence of nature and emotion in a way that feels both personal and universal.

The Vision of Margueritte Tonbazian
The Catalyst: Motion & Perception
Ideas arrive in the shift between dimensions. For me, creativity wakes up in the rhythm of the road—where the world rushing by becomes a series of suspended fragments. My work captures the collision of ordinary moments and extraordinary speed, transforming landscape into narrative.
The Craft:
Elemental Mastery My practice is a convergence of technical discipline and the scientific imagination. Using a mastery of acrylic, cold wax, marble dust, and oil, I investigate the intersection of human consciousness and the 2026 zeitgeist. Each canvas is a study of the physics of space and the changing chemistry of our seasons.
The Philosophy:
Absolute Originality I am committed to creating art that does not copy, but instead invites others to follow. My goal is to elevate raw materials into singular fine art that is distinctly unique—a reflection of a life lived across international traditions.
The Legacy:
Art as an Enduring Asset Art is a dialogue with time. Much like a fine wine, a painting matures and gains depth as its story unfolds. Investing in a piece is not just about filling a wall; it is about securing a finite piece of an artist's narrative that is designed to grow in meaning, rarity, and value over time.
