Emmanuel Garant has excellent qualities of portraitist. He is besides by this skew that he decided to be expressed. This way was traced to him by his mother who knew to detect this gift in him. However, he has to forge a personal style that the amateurs of portraits will be able to appreciate. The art of Garant oscillates between the art of the portrait intimist and a certain bottom of realism.

He knows like Renoir, to discover freshness through the features of a face and to compose in order to highlight a touching detail by which the fabric takes its character intimist. Realism, he retains only the side presence, acuity and objectivity with respect to the model.

Interpret the beauty, Emmanuel often places his characters in a soft and romantic nature whose delicacy gives to its works their freshness and their youth.
