My artistic work unfolds through a multidisciplinary practice centered around the themes of memory, identity, and cultural resilience. My approach, rooted in my experience as an Afro-Caribbean immigrant to Quebec, draws its strength from the world of Creole tales and West Indian oral tradition.
Through painting, photography, video, and more recently immersive technologies, I weave visual narratives that blend reality and imagination. My works, characterized by a rich palette of deep blue, luminous yellow, and intense red, depict dreamlike spaces where stylized houses, often perched on tall ladders, interact with lunar circles and cursive writing.
In my series "Tales of Facts," initiated in 2010, I explore the notion of cultural transmission by creating installations that combine book objects, sound, and visual elements. These works recount our shared and individual memories, those of migrants, our lives, our hopes, and our struggles, while questioning the place of the body and speech in contemporary space.
A graduate of the Caribbean Campus of Arts (formerly the Regional School of Plastic Arts of Martinique), I am currently exploring the narrative possibilities offered by virtual reality, seeking to create immersive experiences that reinvent the art of storytelling in the digital age. My work is part of a process of decolonizing narratives, questioning inherited stereotypes and proposing new ways of telling stories in the in-between cultures.
I live and work in Tiohtiá:ke / Montreal.
