L’AMETAC, an association promoting artistic events, contact me to be part of Montréal en Lumière festival.
For this event, a 20-meter sphere has been set up on Place des Festivals in Montreal. I was responsible for all the visual content projected on this sphere.

Interview for Yodel Magazine
- Rowena: Rémi Vincent is a freelance graphic designer and art director who has completed designs for Adidas and Salomon. Now based in Montreal, he originally grew up in Digne- les-Bains in the Southern Alps.
- Rémi: “I really enjoyed growing up in the Alps, my childhood was amazing. I grew up between Provence and the Alps where you can do everything you want, go skiing in the winter and swimming in Verdon Gorge in summer. My family grew up there and I met many of my best friends and my beautiful girlfriend there. I found a lot of the inspiration for what I’ve created since from Digne-les-Bains.
- When I was growing up people often told me to do some fine art sessions at school because they thought I was good with drawings but I preferred to imagine I was more of a Michael Jordan.
- I was always playing basketball and football or hanging around the neighbourhood on my BMX.
- I have always been a dreamer so creativity is naturally a very big part of me. At the end of the 90’s with my first PC and the rise of the Internet I began sketching and realised I had an artistic streak. As soon as I finished a boring science course, I changed direction toward applied arts. I do not regret my choice!
- Today is a great era for artists because there are no longer technological or geographical limitations. With Salomon, I entered one of their artwork competitions and was nominated by them. A few months later, they contacted me to collaborate on their ‘artist series’ for both the summer and winter collections.
- Adidas actually contacted me through MySpace inviting me to an event in Lyon to customise their caps. It was really challenging! I was asked to customise something like one hundred caps for a one-night event in one of their concept stores. I asked my friend and artist Onekon7 to help me on the project and we had to make snap decisions to find art techniques that were fast and efficient. We prepared some caps prior to the event and we finished them live during the evening.
- I watch and learn from literally everything around me. It could be a landscape, a movie, an emotion, a dream, books, pictures, photos, fashion, sports or even lifestyles. I like to be into everything from painting to video to toys and clothes customisation. I would describe my work as colourful, playful, animated, typographic and electronic.
- For me, an average day begins with a strong breakfast, and a walk with my French bulldog, Hervé, before going to work. I'm freelance now so I share a studio as my work place with four other great artists. Working from there makes me have a "normal routine". Depending on my workload I work 6 hours to 15 hours a day, that's what you got as a freelance. When I have a chance, I do some VJing work for events like music shows or clubs. And finally after my days work and when weather allows, I practice bike polo. It's really a fun sport even if it is not very well known.
- I have lived in Montreal for over three years now – I was only supposed to spend one year abroad! It’s such a great city with lots of artists, music festivals and events so there is an excellent quality of life with great opportunities. It is so different to living in the Alps - snow may be the only thing the two places have in common. One thing is for sure – I miss the gastronomy of the Alps; tartiflette, raclette and the WINE!
- I have a need to create and to get my art everywhere I can so I like customising objects like toasters and toys. Most of the time I begin by drawing something on paper and when I reproduce it on a 3D object it gives so much life to my creation. I love it!
- If I hadn’t been a designer I don’t know what I would have been...a shepherd in the Alps, who knows? I’m lucky I have a passion for art and can live from it. In the future I still picture myself having as much fun as I do now and still creating and playing with images. I won’t ever grow up!”
