Acrylic on canvas.
36x40"
Without roots, this is how many of us feel after the loss of loved ones, but are we really?
Like the Tillandsia I am persistent and resilent. I do not need a suitable environment in order to save myself, I cling freely to life, my head filled with dreams and I move forward.
I am self-taught and consider myself a contemporary artist who works exclusively with acrylics. I studied art history. Nothing prepared me to become a painter, I started to really paint in 2019 after some painful events. Over time, in my explorations, experience, and training, the colors and shapes have taken their place. This evolution reflects my desire to express myself without having to use words.
As a Haitian, my style is very influenced by my culture and this is developed in a natural way, I paint for the joy of remembering to tell my stories
ARTIST’S STATEMENT
The most important thing for me is inspiration and creation. I have a real joy in filling a blank canvas with my feelings or passing a message. I work by instinct, I improvise movement, that's why I rarely make sketches.
I am often inspired by Philome Obin, Frida Kahlo, and Jackson Pollock. My style is a mixture of naive expressionism and calculated casting, guided by my studies in art history where I discovered these artists who have marked me. I am perpetually in search of inspiration, in everyday life, current events, and even in my loved ones, in short, my work represents my mood and my stories.
You will notice changes in the lines, the movements of the characters, and the nuances of the colors, over time, I have spent a lot of time studying the different types of colors to match, the reactions between them, such as transparency and opacity. I am aware that I do not respect the rules of art, I paint from the heart and emotions, sometimes my works may have similarities but each one tells its own story.
