About the Artist:Petite Rivière de l'Artibonite, Haiti, b. 1940, d. 2000Saincilus Ismael was born in Petite Riviere de l’Artibonite, Haiti.He began to paint in 1958, after visiting the Centre d’Art in Port-au-Prince. In 1967, he was one of a group of artists commissioned to paint the community exhibition hall at Deschapelles.His work bears the influence of Byzantine art he saw in books. Like Gerard Valcin, a Haitian painter who was a tile setter before turning to art, Ismael pays attention to details, a precise, almost manufactured-looking perfection that serves to enhance his subjects.He later became director of the ceramics center in Deschapelles.Painters Michel-Ange Altidort and Carlo Jean Baptiste were among his students.Ismael's paintings, rendered with the intricacy of a Byzantine icon, are instantly recognizable. He painted scenes of Haitian peasant life, as well as religous-themed paintings that often mixed or combined Christianity and Vaudou.
