Naif Haitian Folk Art


When you first look at a Haitian art canvas, the first impression is that it is naïf and simple. With Haitian art you need to look beyond what first appears on the canvas and pay attention to the nuances the artist intends. Each artist, in a very deliberate and unique way paints a complex canvas that speaks about impressions or tells stories of hardship, focuses on minute details or transforms simple shapes and color into patterns that resemble stained glass.

Haitian art is naïf, but complex. This is why sophisticated and eclectic collectors are turning to Haitian art as the collectible art of the future.
