This captivating painting, available in two versions - one bathed in captivating shades of blue and the other adorned with vibrant hues of red - serves as a profound homage to the remarkable life of Sanite Belair, a courageous and essential figure in the Haitian revolution. As a sergeant and later a lieutenant in Toussaint Louverture's army, she fearlessly engaged in battles against the French troops, leaving an indelible mark on the quest for Haitian independence. Notably, both versions feature a wooden frame exquisitely adorned with intricate Haitian cut metal. These beautifully crafted designs represent the loas - powerful spiritual entities deeply intertwined with Haitian Voodoo and culture. Their presence pays homage to the profound spiritual beliefs that have guided and protected the Haitian people throughout history. Through these stunning artworks, artist and observer alike honor the memory of Sanite Belair, an essential heroine whose bravery and involvement have shaped the narrative of Haitian history. Furthermore, the incorporation of Haitian cut metal on the frames serves as a testament to the enduring influence of Voodoo and Haitian culture, binding the nation's past and present in an inseparable embrace of tradition and spirituality. As viewers engage with these masterpieces, they are invited to reflect on the intertwined narratives of history, culture, and spirituality that continue to inspire and unite the Haitian people to this day.
