Naderson Saint-Pierre started his creative journey as a Haitian youth living in Florida. Drawing was the foundation, but he soon swapped out pencils for brushes. In his solitude, Naderson used art as a way to detox from life’s daily challenges. For him, something so therapeutic became more than a hobby but a journey in finding himself. Naderson’s paintings evoke deep feelings in his viewers. His goal is to provoke thought and conversation about the world and society. Often autobiographical and rich in narrative, his colorful and compelling portraits highlight and celebrate an image of black identity.

“As I have grown and matured, so has my art. My priority is to create a better understanding and address the elephant in the room.”
