Description

A PORTRAIT OF MY LATE GREAT UNCLE WHO WAS A PIONEER AND VISIONARY IN PORT-DE-PAIX, HAITI. PAINTED FROM THE LAST PHOTOGRAPH I TOOK OF HIM BEFORE HIS PASSING, HE EMBODIED A VERSION OF HAITI THAT BELIEVED IN ITSELF. HE IS MY REMINDER OF WHAT HAITI CARRIES IN ITS PEOPLE. This striking portrait depicts an elderly man rendered in rich blue hues against a bright yellow background. The detailed brushwork captures his gentle, reflective expression, highlighting his curly white hair and eyebrows. He holds a black Polaroid photo inscribed with "I LOVE YOU UNCLE ORESTE" along the top edge, adding a personal and emotional layer to the painting. The composition focuses on his hand and face, establishing an intimate connection with the viewer.
