About The Artist:

Raphael Sagage began painting at the age of seven in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. His source of inspiration has always been the objects of everyday life and the natural world that surrounds him, fascinated by their colours, patterns, shapes and textures. This vision is reflected in his impressionistic paintings, which include experimental techniques combined with more traditional application of media. He often includes cubist characteristics into his expressionistic style and is considered a forerunner in abstract realism.  Rather than paint exactly what he sees, Raphael prefers to let his response to his surroundings be guided by his paintbrush. He has served as a professor of Fine Arts at the Ecole National des Arts in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. He continues to share his talent and philosophy with other people, encouraging them to realize the importance of art and its various forms rather than being guided by worldly materialistic items.
