Note: Born in Haiti, this French painter developed a style in reaction to American Pop Art and its works saturated with images of consumer society. His artistic vision draws inspiration from everyday life and his travels, with a clear and deliberate reference to his native country: his work features personal memories, everyday objects, and snippets of current events.
