Bernard Aimé Poulin is a visual artist specializing in portrait and the author of articles and books on drawing, creativity and societal implications in the realization of the "self". Poulin, a native of Windsor, Ontario, was born on January 4, 1945. He has specialized in corporate and private portraiture as well as commissioned exhibitions. A Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Portrait Artists (CIPA) he was its President for the 2003–2005 term. The many individuals whose portraits he has rendered are prominent members of the world’s political, royal, corporate, artistic, sport and religious elite. Since 1995 investing patrons not only request private thematic exhibitions of Poulin’s work, they purchase the collections sight unseen. In the recent past these exhibitions have been based on Tuscany and Venice (1996), Provence (1998), Jerusalem (2000), Paris (2005) and a Grand Tour Exhibition in 2007. Poulin also sculpts in bronze, using the lost wax process. As a muralist, he has created several three-dimensional, mixed-media projects such as those in the lobby of the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, the Ottawa Children’s Aid Society and the Solange Karsh Center for Medical Research. A noted lecturer, the artist has also participated in the creation of more than 10 books dedicated to the process of drawing. His articles and television appearances have been translated into Portuguese and Italian. He is the author of 11 of his own books. His ''Complete Colored Pencil Book'', was published by FW Publications (North Light division) in 1992. It has sold more than 50,000 copies. Its French translation, ''Le crayon de couleur'', was published in Paris in 1995. The softcover re-issue of ''The Complete Colored Pencil Book'' appeared in 2002 and was again re-released in a revised version under the banner of ''North Light Classics'' in 2011. In December 2010, his 40-year research project on creativity was published under the title ''Beyond Discouragement – Creativity''. Written in the form of a classic essay, it discusses the effects of the past century on creativity. Both hard-copy and e-book versions are available online.In 2015, "On Life, Death And Nude Painting" was published under the Classic Perceptions banner. This book's theme is the encouragement of "thinking". Composed as a collection of reflections its content is both purposefully provocative and irritating.
