Yon Fresko byen Frape
Date: 2024
From: Port-au-Prince
Medium: Oil on Canvas
Dimensions : 20 inches x 24 inches
Artist: Medha is a 34-year-old Haitian artist living in Canaan, a community in Port-au-Prince nestled between La Plaine and Cité Soleil, two areas often plagued by gang violence. As a skilled portraitist and abstract artist, Medha's work vividly portrays the resilience and daily struggles of life in Haiti. His pieces frequently reflect the nostalgia of a childhood he longs for and his vision of a peaceful and prosperous Haiti.
Description : The painting by Medha captures a scene of a Haitian vendor selling “fresko,” a type of shaved ice dessert, on a hot Caribbean day. The cart has handwritten text on it, including the words "Bon Fresko" and phrases like “Si Bondye vle, map goumen ak lavi a ti pa ti pa” (translated from Haitian Creole as “If God wills, I will fight through life little by little”). This reflects the spirit of perseverance and hope common in Haitian culture.
The background features a rustic thatched roof structure and a fabric banner, suggesting a rural or small-town setting. The warm colors used in the painting—rich browns, reds, and yellows—evoke the heat of the day and the laid-back atmosphere of the scene. The artwork effectively portrays a slice of everyday life in Haiti, highlighting the importance of local vendors and their interactions with the community.
