Artist: Louis Saurel is a multi-talented Haitian painter who currently resides in the neighborhoods of Bourdon and Musseau, on the outskirts of Pétion-Ville. Now in his forties, Saurel has been immersed in art since childhood, growing up in a family of artists. Alongside his brother, who is also a painter, he discovered his passion for art at the age of twelve. After school at the Lycée, Saurel would visit the workshop of the renowned artist Jean René Jérôme, where he received mentorship and guidance that helped shape his artistic path. For Saurel, painting was never a necessity but a true calling.
Description : This painting by Louis Saurel portrays a simple, yet evocative still life featuring a typical Haitian candle. It sits in a basic tin holder, radiating a warm glow with a flame at its center. Surrounding the candle are everyday objects: a tobacco pipe and a matchbox, subtly indicating the quiet moments people often experience when gathered around a solitary light during power cuts.
