Raphaelle Coulombe-Allie

This mural painter has been a member of MURIRS since 2005. She holds a Bachelor’s in Visual and Media Arts from the Université de Québec à Montréal and is an experienced photographer. She was also the 2007 winner of the “First Art” regional Bank of Montreal scholarship.

Denis Jacques

A portraitist since 1980, Denis Jacques is especially recognized for the quality and realism of his portraits. He has been called on by MURIRS since 2003 as an artistic painter and portraitist. In addition to being a master portraitist and pastel artist and having received many prizes across both Quebec and Canada, he has been directing and teaching at the Académie Portrait International since 1988.

Pierre Laforest

After finishing his studies in Visual Arts at the Université Laval, Pierre Laforest completed his training in Florence, where he mastered painting and drawing techniques. In 1999, he was chosen to go to Lyon as part of a practical training program in mural painting and participated in the « Fresque des Québécois ». Thereafter, he took part in initiating the pillars project in Quebec City. Since then, he has participated in the creation of most of the murals in the Quebec region. It is since 2012 that he participates in M.U.R.I.R.S.’s projects.

Serge Malenfant

Founder, President, and Coordinator of the M.U.R.I.R.S. organization, artistic painter, illustrator, stage designer, and mural painter, Serge Malenfant is a native of Sherbrooke with a passion for local history. In 1997, his desire to paint exceeded the canvas and he sought to bring colour to his environment, to collective living space. This is his vision of the function of art and murals. His enthusiasm and strong determination for realizing a challenging large-scale artistic and historical mural project has never ceased to propel him. This adventure thus allows him to marry his twin passions for art and history.
