ARTIST
STATEMENT |
So
far, all of my art is special to me because creation comes
from messages received by the creator, that is why an artist
cannot copy another one. My biggest accomplishments, I was
commissioned to do the 65 feet Mural in JFK, New York, City,
terminal 9, American Airlines. It is called "The Universal
Party", and my Collection of Independence "Faces
of Freedom" that was created in 2004. I would be honored
to exhibit this collection at Moca Museum , Miami and also
show other important pieces of my private collection. As a
humanitarian, I give paintings yearly to help the neediest
of my beloved Haiti. It's my way to thank the Almighty for
the precious gift of Painting. |
