HAROLD ALPHONSE was born on august 08, 1961 in Port-au-Prince / Haiti.

By poetizing he created images and by painting images he poetizes. It is the marriage of poetry and painting. The evidence of the accounting of this marriage is moving towards an immense depth. For Harold, the night carries the pollen of creation. Like the finger that slips between the tree and the bark, it erects in perfect harmony between hypnos and thanatos. He fights mercilessly and in all directions against the tentacles of the night. Art as an essential phenomenon of creation, invests the first instance of its thought. Here you are, he distills his masterpieces that represent a sum of expressiveness, novelty, originality, soft plastic oak leaves, and a brave sensuality. Long-legged, the expression on his face almost amorphous, he does not at all seem like an imposing, grandiloquent person, unlike his paintings.
