New Vision Art School

From teacher Lesly:

"As an artist the freedom of expression and creativity helps me to continuously create, enjoy the arts, and appreciate the creativity of other artists. This helps me explain my ideas and feelings through my art. That’s what makes my artwork mine, what sets it apart, and what makes it unique as mine. I enjoy creating mixed media pieces because that brings me versatile energies and motivates my persistent drive to create more. I can’t copy others; I am only inspired. I focus on what is authentic and unique expression from within myself because I want to show work worldwide, so even when inspire I must often ignore what other people are doing and listen to my heart. I love making lines, symbols, using different colors, newspaper and pieces of canvas, and sequins through my artwork to make it more powerfully reflect my unique perspective on life, experience, identity, and values. It’s a reflection of my passions. My work not can be known by my signature but by the details I used on them like the cemetery landscapes, contrasts in the background , skeletons, different representations of Haitian loa, and words in the background of paintings. My creation has a voodoo and natural origin. On my easel it is an entire incredible universe which takes shape through Baron Samedi, Legba, Agoué, Mother Nature, and the great cosmic conflict of God and Satan; a diverse set of subjects drawn from the pantheon of Haitian mythical spirits. As an artist I am miles away from the Western perspective. I invite with so much generosity and rebellion another consideration of figurative representation. Sometimes my painting expresses the news of times like covid19 and the earthquakes. I use acrylic paint, canvas and cardboard as a medium to enter the artistic world, which is none other for me a light and the beauty of life. "
