Célie
Date: 2025
From: Port-au-Prince
Medium: Oil on Canvas
Dimensions: 16 × 12 inches
Artist: Ghesilhomme
Description:
Célie is a tribute to the unyielding spirit of Haitian women — those who rise before the sun, balance the world on their heads, and press forward with quiet grace. Inspired by the archetype of Célie in Haitian literature, Ghesilhomme paints a figure both regal and rooted. Draped in white, she carries a basin of harvest as though it were a crown, her back straight, her steps deliberate.
In this work, Ghesilhomme elevates the everyday into the sacred. Célie is not simply an image of a woman — it is a visual homage to generations who carry, nurture, and build, often unseen but never broken.
