About The Artwork

This compelling artwork delves into the life of a courtesan from Cap-Français, Haiti, during the 1770s. Drawing inspiration from Isabel Allende's captivating novel "The Island Beneath the Sea," the artist skillfully portrays the accidental and forced intermingling of different ethnicities, unveiling the inevitable expression of Haiti's rich and diverse cultural heritage. Central to the painting, a map of Haiti from that era stands as a visual backdrop, providing context to the historical setting in which this courtesan lived. The map serves as a symbolic reminder of the complex socio-cultural landscape that existed during that time, shaping the lives of its inhabitants. Nestled at the bottom of the painting, a branch of bougainvillea meticulously crafted in Haitian cut metal artfully responds to the artist's commitment to remain faithful to the vivid representation depicted in the author's book. This delicate inclusion pays homage to Isabel Allende's vivid descriptions, capturing the essence of the courtesan's world as portrayed in the novel. Through this thought-provoking artwork, the artist masterfully captures the essence of the courtesan's story, while also highlighting the intricate tapestry of Haiti's ethnic formation. The painting serves as a poignant reminder of the complexities of the past and the enduring influence of diverse cultures that have contributed to the rich identity of Haiti.
