Artist: Jean Batiste Guesilhom(Born 1971, Jérémie, Haiti)
Born and Raised in Jérémie in the Grand’Anse region, Jean Batiste Ghesilhomme began drawing at age 11 and later trained at La Grotte des Arts Plastiques in Port-au-Prince. After refining his craft in Santo Domingo, DR, he joined a collective of Haitian artists and became a founding member of FAPADECH.Since 2006, he has participated in Artisanat en Fête and exhibited annually at the U.S. Embassy in Haiti, as well as with the Canadian Embassy and at CARIFESTA 2016. Today, his paintings—marked by patience, precision, and quiet strength—are collected in Haiti, the U.S., Canada, and France.
Description:
In the Arms of Love is a radiant expression of unity, passion, and the transformative power of intimacy. Painted in Ghesilhomme’s signature abstract style, two figures embrace at the center of a swirling composition — their forms melting into vibrant waves of color that seem to dance around them like emotion made visible.
A heart crowns the pair, not merely as a symbol but as a pulse — anchoring the viewer in the emotional core of the piece. Fiery reds, deep blues, and luminous oranges flow through the canvas, reflecting both the tenderness and intensity of connection.
With In the Arms of Love, Ghesilhomme invites us into a world where love is not static but alive, moving, and sacred — a force that envelops, elevates, and endures.
