Prefete Duffaut

Born in Jacmel in 1923, this world renowned painter became part of the first generation of Artists discovered by The Centre D’Art. As such he was chosen to paint murals in the Saint Trinity Cathedral in Port-au-Prince alongside Castera Bazile, Rigaud Benoit and Wilson Bigaud. His style is instantly recognizable and he is the only artist of his generation to paint in a non narrative style relying entirely on his imagination to create startling colorful images of vodoo ceremonies or surreal landscapes .
