Patrice Piard's
Haitian Art
paintings reflect
the vivid colors of
his native Haiti. He
uses an outstanding
imagination to
create in his own
style, the different
scenes in Haitian
culture. Haitian Art
of Patrice Piard is
somewhat
distinguishable
because of the
effort to make it
simple and the
organization of the
colors. Born in
Camp-Perrin, small
town, of the south
of Haiti in 1947, he
became a well-know
artist after he came
to the United States
in 1983. Piard had
participated in many
big Haitian Art and
Art expositions
throughout the U.S,
France, and Canada.
Along with the
vivid beauty and
color, his Haitian
Art paintings often
reflect his
knowledge of
building design, a
discipline in which
he acquired a
bachelor's degree in
Haiti. He uses his
storehouse of
memories to recreate
life in Haiti with
painstaking accuracy
and a great deal of
nation pride. "I
don't want to paint
any mistaken ideas
of Haiti, I don't
want any one to
misunderstand"
- Patrice Piard said
to a reporter
regarding his
Haitian Art
creations.
