In 1975 we took a vacation to a tiny, troubled island in the
Caribbean called Haiti. From the moment we stepped off the plane we
knew that this was going to be different than we could ever have
imagined. Amidst the heat, the dust and the poverty we saw the most
amazing art adorning everything. From the walls to the sides of
buildings, to the "tap taps" (buses), everything was painted in
bright colorful scenes.
We were hooked! Over the years we collected, we studied, and we
planned for the time that we would be able to go back to this
incredible island.
In 1996 we returned. It was during this time that we put our two
passions together - Haitian Art and the internet.
Medalia - the Art of Haiti was
born!
Haitian art spans many styles. On our website you will find
paintings many different styles: naive, impressionistic,
photo-realistic, surrealistic - and just about everything else.
We invite you to come take a look at the wonderful work that comes
from the people of Haiti. |
