About The Artwork

This painting honors The Mermaid, a powerful loa in Haitian Voodoo, revered for her role in the fight for Haiti's Independence and her enduring significance in contemporary spiritual practices. Symbolizing Protection, Love, and Generosity, she holds a cherished place in Haitian culture. The artwork depicts The Mermaid in divine splendor, her tail artfully crafted in Haitian cut metal, celebrating Haiti's cultural heritage and spiritual beliefs. It's believed she aided enslaved souls who jumped off ships during the transatlantic crossing, guiding them back to Africa in a spiritual sense. The artist skillfully evokes her aura of protection and compassion, resonating with the Haitian people today. The intricate cut metal tail symbolizes her connection to both earthly and spiritual realms. The painting invites exploration of The Mermaid's historical and contemporary significance, honoring her guiding role in Haiti's history and spirituality. A testament to the enduring influence of loas, she remains a source of inspiration, guiding generations in embracing their heritage and seeking protection, love, and generosity from the material to the divine.
