Collection: Frantz Zephirin (Haitian, b.1968)

Frantz Zephirin embarked on his artistic journey in 1973 under the mentorship of the renowned Haitian master Antoine Obin. Almost immediately, he broke free from the constraints of traditional Cap Haitian artistry, forging a unique and compelling style that captivates viewers. From themes rooted in the Bible to reflections on contemporary events, his paintings unveil the vivid and often turbulent depths of his imagination. Zephirin’s use of brilliantly colored animals serves as a striking visual language, allowing him to communicate bold messages with clarity and power. His innovative approach—rich in political, social, and voodoo themes—quickly resonated with the art world, propelling his career forward at an astonishing pace. His works are a feast for the eyes, marked by intense colors, intricate patterns, and tightly woven compositions that draw viewers into his narrative. Today, Zephirin's art stands out with its haunting portrayal of human figures adorned with animal heads, a profound commentary on authority and societal discontent. His creations are not just works of art; they are powerful critiques that provoke thought and stir emotions. Featured in prestigious museums and galleries globally, his talent has garnered attention from major media outlets like The New York Times, Le Monde, and The Wall Street Journal, especially in the wake of the Haiti earthquake. One of his remarkable exhibitions, "Haiti Art Naif: Memories of Paradise," showcased his transformative work at the Denkmalschmiede Hofgen art center in Germany.
