About this artist
About this artist
Ismael Saincilus (1940–2000) was born in Petite Rivière de l’Artibonite, Haiti. He began painting in 1956 and rose to prominence as one of Haiti’s most influential contemporary artists. His works blend elements of Vodou symbolism and Christian spirituality, creating visually intricate compositions celebrated for their sacred resonance and cultural depth.
Renowned for his iconic “Madonnas,” Saincilus developed a distinctive linear technique that envelops his figures in elaborate webs of color and form. As noted by art historian Gérald Alexis in Peintres Haïtiens, “Saincilus’ complex use of lines places his characters in a web of colored lines.” Beyond his artistic mastery, Saincilus directed the Ceramics Center in Deschapelles, where he trained artists such as Michelange Altidort and Carlos Jean Baptiste. His enduring influence continues to shape Haitian art, bridging faith, folklore, and fine artistry in timeless harmony
