Roberson Joseph is a contemporary Haitian artist who paints Everyday Life of Ordinary People in Haiti. “Holding an enormous presence, Roberson’s paintings are teaming with dramatic colors and are heavy with fantastical realism.

Depicting love, family, fun, tragedy, sadness and everyday life in Haiti, his paintings combine realism-centered images of the common people with the glorification of nature and dizzying backgrounds of romanticism.”
