Collection Notes

Agathe Aladin

Agathe Aladin was born in Jacmel on May 25, 1967.  She is one of the nine children of Haitian artist Theard Aladin.  Agathe learned to paint by watching her father, and she later studied with Maurice Vital.  By the age of sixteen she was working on her father's paintings, but not until after his death in 1993 did she begin to paint her own.  Similar to the painting style of her father, Agathe is seen as surpassing him in context and creativity.  Her compositions are both playful and esoteric.  She describes her painting style as "imaginary free."

Since the death of her father, Agathe Aladin shows her work in galleries such as Issa, Boris and Galerie Monnin, which are located in Port-au-Prince.  She lives with her husband and three children in Carrefour, Haiti.
