Fernande Eliassaint (1978- )

My name is Fernande Eliassaint. I am a painter, an artist. I began with painting in 2003. I attended a seminar with a friend who is a professor called Jean Renel Pierre-Louis. I share painting together with other activities. I am a cosmetologist, and I do haute couture, which means I sew in high fashion.

I love painting. Each time I see a painting, it makes me feel like I want to go further. Coming here (Atelier d’Art International Haiti) and sharing with all artists is awesome.

My tendency is impressionist. I would like to continue in this area, and also I would like to teach children so they can express themselves through art.

Art is great. When I’m in front of a painting, it feels wonderful. Drawing is not easy because I am trying to describe a message I have inside and I want to make it go through.

I want to go far in painting and do things other people haven’t done. Painting is just too beautiful. This workshop encourages me to go much, much farther.
