About The Artwork

The Midnight Robber is one of the most beloved colourful traditional carnival characters. Midnight Robber, is immediately identifiable by his extravagant costumes and distinctive speech, called “Robber Talk” The "Robber Talk" is derived from the tradition of the African Griot or storyteller, and the speech patterns and vocabulary are imitative of his former master and is characterised by its boastful, mocking style was derived from a variety of sources: the Bible, literary texts and school readers and speaks of the Robber's invincible ancestry as well as his terrifying exploits.

Visual Artist from Trinidad and Tobago. My goal as an artist is to visually create emotional experiences using various media. A vibrant mix of colour that draws you in, transporting you to the familiar. These experiences come in different forms.They are the water colour portraits of loved ones or famous faces, reminding us of a time and place when our life was more colourful with them in it. They are the illustrations of buildings from a lost era. They are abstract renditions of a dying breed; Trinidad and Tobago’s Traditional Carnival characters. They are the visual translations on canvas, of a group of songs that form the soundtrack of my creative process. Born and raised in the Caribbean yet having strong European roots, there is always that struggle to find ‘Home”. Perhaps that struggle is reflected in the different styles of each series that is created. What I do know, without a doubt, is that I feel most at home when I’m in the studio.
