HAmoc Artists

Joel Maxime Jr

 I feature various styles from art direction and curation, illustration, to sculpting, and industrial design to fashion design learned from taking classes at Columbia College and UIC.

Series range in between commercial work and passion projects about the environment, economic disparity, gender equality, and questioning traditions such as religion and ignorance.

CRĀVE also employs a foray of significant   body of work in street art, and poignant underlying message of community, ecology and progress with an appreciation for past aesthetic has developed in every aspect of the work.

“As a creative, I am dispelling the negativity that surrounds my homeland daily. There is so much love and treasure in Haiti, and I want to be a vessel in letting the world know that, through my voice, my pen, and my lens. My purpose is to mirror the same, yet a different sense of captivation of how beautiful our people are, what we do, what we eat, how we love, and how we live. Currently, Haiti is under so much strife right now; a strife that seems never ending. Through these pictures I want people to know that life and love still and will always exist here, no matter the forces that be, that try to depict otherwise.” This is Haiti!

Cindy L.Lys

Cindy’s work explores textile designs, indigo vat dyeing and Japanese Shibori techniques inspired by Haitian sacred art, African and Afro-Caribbean spirituality;the mythology of a people as moral and spiritual foundation of self-knowledge, self-empowerment and ethical life. Delving into the complementarity of Haitian religiosity through its syncretism with Roman Catholicism, Cindy destabilizes the stigma commonly attached to Haitian Vodou and the black sacred cosmos.
