Confinement

*Confinement* is a series of acrylic works on paper created during the pandemic, a period marked by profound individual and collective introspection. This collection explores, through an allegorical and symbolic visual language, the psychological, social, and environmental repercussions of isolation. The compositions, infused with metaphor and dreamlike forms, offer a multifaceted reading of reality, where color plays a central role as a vector of energy and sensitive dialogue. Each work becomes a space for reflection—a means of reweaving the links between the self, others, and the world. Through this approach, *Confinement* invites the viewer into an immersive and introspective experience, encouraging a reconsideration of perception and an inquiry into how crises reshape our relationship with existence.

Mixed Media Art

In this series, I engage in a process I call recuperation, transforming humble or discarded materials like cloth, charcoal, resin, and coffee grounds into layered narratives. The canvas becomes a space of negotiation, where material histories and artistic intent meet. Through this dialogue, I explore resilience, resourcefulness, and the potential for new meanings to emerge from the everyday.

Vibration of Colors

In “Vibration of Colors,” I delve into my daily life, cultural roots, and the national history that has shaped my identity as a Haitian artist. I seek to explore my immediate and peripheral environment through observations of everyday life. I aim to capture various human perspectives using the language of symbols, shapes, and colors. I invite spectators to interact with a dance of shapes and colors, which offers an abstract glimpse into everyday life. I think art is a way to move people by giving them special insight into experiences of joy, pain, and revelation. Consequently, my main objective is to reconcile or mediate art’s possibilities and society’s realities.
