Born in Quebec City, Stefan Horik was introduced to art at a very early age by his father, artist Vladmir Horik. He was raised in Charlevoix County, a well-known region for its breathtaking landscapes and its dynamic artistic life. After all these years, this region still remains an endless source of inspiration to him. Stefan also travelled across Canada from coast to coast several times. The beauty of the country led him to immortalize on canvas the many provinces that he visited.
