 Roger
François was born in Petite-Riviere de l'Artibonite,
Haiti
, in October, 1928. Before becoming a painter, François was a sculptor
and student of Odilon Duperier. François is a houngan, and needless to
say is deeply involved in Vodou in his daily life and in his art. As
such, his paintings are characterized by subtle occult and mystical
symbolism, as well as more obvious voodoo scenes.
Internationally renowned, François' works have been exhibited in
Belgium , Germany , the U.S. , and France . His paintings have been on
permanent exhibition in the Brussels Museum since 1963. Within the last
many years, he has been seized upon by collecters, who see his
versatility, use of color, and elegance of style as promises of
greatness.

Many well-known Haitian Artists were born in Petite Rivière. Their legacies live on.
A lot of young, well inspired artists have inherited their sensible touch. Hundreds of
such gifted students adopt their style and got their (first) debut at their regular
workshop sessions.
