Yvon Breton was born in Johnville, Quebec in 1942. Early on, around the fifth grade, his drawings made him stand out. As soon as school was over, he enrolled at the Fine Art Academy in Montreal, where he studied graphic art. In 1988, after many exhibitions, he was awarded the René d'Anjou Award by the "Foundation Culturelle des Pays de la Loire."
