Fingerpainting

This series of large paintings are an illustration of the book "The island beneath the sea" from international author Isabel Allende. As an artist based in Haiti I wanted to illustrate this book using different local materials and styles. All paintings are 52" x 52" x 4" on wood, with a wooden frame created by the artist. They all include metal work called "fer forgé" or "metal découpé", a typical haitian art and style. All pieces are covered with resin.
This series will contain a total of 11 paintings (each representing a chapter of  the book + 1 painting for the title).
