| Dr. Francois L'Amerique Bellande was born in
Jacmel in 1966. He began painting in 1987, but has only recently become
properly appreciated as a Vodou artist. Like many
Haitians, he has been immersed in the knowledge and practice of Vodou
since he was a small child. For several years, he has been accepted as
having the sufficient knowledge to be an herbal doctor; recently, he has
been selected as houngan of the Vodou establishment in Achaie.

Bellande's narrative paintings combine a figuration that is raw and from the gut, with a bold and sophisticated sense of color. Each painting has a story behind it; our transcripts of many of Bellande's tales are available upon request.
