Artist Statement
In a meditative space
I am an abstract expressionist painter whose work is deeply rooted in migration, memory, and transformation. Born and raised in Haiti, I left my homeland 25 years ago and have lived in six countries before settling in Denver, Colorado. My journey, from practicing law to embracing the creative unknown, has profoundly shaped how I perceive and interpret the world.
My art is an emotional language that speaks through colour, texture, and movement. Each canvas is a negotiation between chaos and control, echoing the complexities of identity, belonging, and reinvention. I often work intuitively, layering paint in gestures that are spontaneous yet intentional, drawing influence from universal spiritual symbolism, urban landscapes, and internal states of exile and emergence.
Painting has become both a refuge and a reclamation: a place where I can be both rooted and fluid. Through abstraction, I aim to create space for the unspeakable, the ancestral and the imagined.
My current practice explores themes of diaspora, resilience, and the silent echoes of home. I invite viewers to engage with my work not just visually, but emotionally, to find there their own stories within the abstraction.
