Description
This vibrant oil on canvas painting by Serge Moleon Blaise captures a lively Haitian market scene animated by vendors, baskets of produce, and warm social interaction beneath lush green trees. The artist’s harmonious palette of yellows, blues, oranges, and reds brings rhythmic balance to the composition, while the relaxed postures and expressive faces of the figures emphasize community and everyday life. Blaise’s refined, stylized approach highlights both the cultural richness and the gentle movement of a traditional open-air market. The work’s thoughtful arrangement of seated and standing figures, combined with detailed baskets and natural surroundings, showcases the artist’s distinctive contribution to Haitian narrative painting.
