🎨 About the Artwork

Depicting marchandes—the iconic female vendors of Haiti—the painting blends elegance, rhythm, and abstraction in a way that defines Séjourné’s contribution to modern Haitian art.

The elongated forms, fluid lines, and harmonious color palette reflect the artist’s affiliation with the School of Beauty, a movement known for elevating feminine grace and compositional balance. His work often moves between figuration and abstraction, giving the scene both narrative depth and visual sophistication.
