Could you tell us a little about your early journey in art? How did it all begin for you?

I was born in Brooklyn and spent my early years bouncing between Miami and New York, though most of my youth was in Miami. I’ve been drawing for as long as I can remember — it started with ninjas, Looney Tunes characters, and Ninja Turtles. Over time, that childhood passion grew into something deeper.

By the time I reached my teenage years and high school, my skills had developed through constant practice and an eye for visual detail. When I realized no one tought me how to draw is when I began to enterstand this wasn’t just a learned ability — it was a GOD-given gift. Art became more than just something I did; it became part of my purpose.

Many people call you the ‘Haitian Picasso.’ How do you feel about that title, and how does your Haitian heritageinspire your work?

I’m truly honored by that title, and I understand what people mean by it. My perspective as an artist is unique — I see the world differently just like Picasso did. Living in Haiti for a period of my life allowed me to experience the beauty of simplicity, a life without technology or modern conveniences. It taught me creativity through resourcefulness and opened my imagination on how to use the talent that YAH has given me. Never stay in the box, no matter the environment. GOD has given us dominion in our assignment on this earth.

Faith and spirituality are clearly very strong themes in your pieces. What role does God play in your creativeprocess?

YAH is the foundation of everything I do. The gift was given, and the assignment was received. Before I create anything, I seek His direction — and it reveals itself in many ways. Sometimes it comes through a vision or a dream; other times, it’s through the movement of the brush as I paint. I’m led by the Holy Spirit, and often it’s not until I finish that I fully understand the meaning of the piece myself.

Your artworks combine bright colors, symbolism, and even written words. How do you decide which messages toinclude in your visuals?

I’m guided by the Holy Spirit, and often what’s happening in the world at the time influences the symbols and colors I choose. Each element carries purpose — the words I include are directly connected to the message within the artwork. They serve as a reminder that GOD’s words never die; he is “the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6).

In works like the one with the boombox and the city lights, music seems very present. How does your backgroundin music connect with your visual art?

Music is another gift that GOD has given me. I’ve come to understand that music carries frequency — and so does art. There’s a visual frequency within art that many people don’t recognize. In my mission to spread the message of YAH, I’m called to merge both sound and sight so that together they create a clearer understanding of how divine rhythm moves through our world and the spirit.

You describe your pieces as ‘spiritual artifacts.’ What do you hope people feel or discover when they look at yourart?

My hope is that people see YAH— His love, His grace, and His presence over our lives. I want them to feel a sense of renewal, as if being reborn in the presence of Yahshua’s Spirit. Through each piece, I pray their eyes are opened to truth and to the prophetic message that He has for all mankind.

Looking into the future, what is the next vision or message you want to bring to the world through your art?

The message I’m carrying forward is a warning and a call to awareness. Artificial intelligence and the rise of advanced technology reflect the return of the Nephilim spirit — a deception that’s shaping the world toward the mark of the beast. Through my art, I want people to wake up spiritually, to see beyond the surface. GOD is coming, and it’s time to turn away from false gods and dark influences, and to receive Yahshua the Messiah as our personal Savior. We are living in the end times, and our eyes must be fixed on YAHWEH.
