About this artist

Louisane Saint Fleurant was born in 1924 in Petit-Trou-de-Nippe, Haiti, and she passed away on June 1, 2005. She is celebrated as the "godmother" of the Saint-Soleil School of Painters, which was established under the leadership of Tiga Garoute and Maude Robbart, prominent figures in this influential movement based in Soisson-la-Montagne, approximately fifty kilometers from Port-au-Prince. From 1978 onwards, she participated in numerous exhibitions in both Haiti and abroad. As one of the most distinguished artists of this groundbreaking school, Louisane Saint Fleurant has redefined Haitian painting with her unique vision, free from any external influences. Her work exemplifies the spirit of the movement, which André Malraux aptly described by stating, "It is impossible to determine where it came from or to whom it speaks." In *L'Intemporel*, Malraux highlights the significance of this new school, quoting Saint Fleurant herself: “It is through Voodoo that we best approach the creative process of the Saint-Soleil painters. Ultimately, the painter creates because he or she is 'mounted' (possessed) and paints what the Loa (Voodoo god) desires.” (Source: *La Peinture Haitienne/Haitian Arts* by Marie-José Nadal & Gérald Bloncourt, Editions Nathan, Paris, 1986, p. 193)
