My art is a celebration of memory, culture, and connection. I paint to honor my Haitian roots, to pay tribute to the streets of New York that shaped me, and to spark conversations about identity, value, and belonging. My work is layered—visually and emotionally—blending nostalgia with modernity, and personal history with universal themes.

Using mixed media, I often incorporate elements like distressed textures, graffiti, currency, and comic books to challenge notions of luxury, loss, and legacy. Whether through abstract compositions, my “Game Series” referencing childhood board games, or my tribute works in the “Love Thy Neighbor” project, my pieces are rooted in storytelling. Every canvas is a window into a collective or individual past—mine and yours.

Art is meant to be accessible, emotional, and human. My mission is to create work that resonates beyond the gallery walls—to give voice to people and memories that might otherwise be forgotten. I believe art should remind us where we came from and show us what's still possible.
