Artist: Guesilhomme Jean Batiste
Description:
In Mango Lakay (“Mango from Home”), Guesilhomme Jean Batiste transforms a simple fruit into a symbol of belonging and abundance. The ripe and unripe mangoes rest gently on a wooden surface, their golden and green hues illuminated against a dark, tranquil background. Above them, softly rendered leaves drift in quiet motion — a whisper of tropical air and memory.
This still life is both homage and meditation: a tribute to Haiti’s fertile soil and to the intimacy of everyday life. Through its realism and subtle light, Mango Lakay evokes the warmth of home, where even the humblest fruit carries the taste of identity and the scent of nostalgia.
