From childhood, when he used flower petals for
color, Michel has had an unquenchable desire to paint. In a recent interview in
Haiti, he commented, "Painting, for me, is like a madness." His paintings are
lyrical presentations of the Haitian countryside. Their romantic quality is
reminiscent of the French impressionistic style, abeit
with the intensity of tropical light. His work has grown steadily in popularity,
both with collectors and first time buyers.
