Description:
In Dèyè Mòn, Guesilhom Jean Batiste captures the quiet poetry of rural Haiti — a country road winding between mountains, framed by lush vegetation and gentle skies. A man and a woman move along the path, their figures small against the immensity of nature, yet full of quiet strength and purpose.The painting’s soft light and harmonious greens evoke early morning calm, when the air is thick with promise and routine. The humble wooden house tucked among the trees, the distant flight of birds, and the cool mountain haze all speak to a rhythm of life deeply tied to the land. Dèyè Mòn is a meditation on belonging — a visual prayer for the beauty found in ordinary journeys, and in the enduring bond between people and their homeland.
