"Méditations Profondes (Deep meditations)" Painting

Born in Brooklyn, NY, Clifford Bertin is a Haitian-American, self-taught abstract painter based between Port-au-Prince (Haiti), Paris (France) and Mexico City (Mexico). Passionate about culinary art and painting since childhood, he draws from these two mediums to express himself. His paintings are inspired by ancestral culture, spiritual vibrations and are passionately translated onto his canvases using colours to convey his interpretation of Haitian culture in its many forms. The hidden messages that can be found in his paintings spontaneously transport us to a spiritual and vibrant world that is both subtle and enigmatic, and lead to multiple interpretations of his work. His paintings are done in series and phases that are carefully thought of and tell stories around themes of joy, spirituality and societal preoccupations. Clifford has participated in both individual and group exhibitions in public spaces in the United States, Canada and Haiti and has work in private collections all over the world.
