About this artist
About this artist
Wilson Bigaud (1931–2010) is widely recognized as one of the great masters of Haitian art. He began painting at the remarkably young age of fifteen under the guidance of the legendary Haitian pioneer Hector Hyppolite, whose influence helped shape Bigaud’s early artistic direction. His first works were distinguished by golden light, warm tonalities, and a natural sense of harmony that quickly drew attention. Working for many years in the quiet coastal town of Petit-Goâve, Bigaud created beautifully detailed, often humorous scenes drawn from Haitian daily life. His innate sense of color—used to model forms with subtlety and emotional depth—became a hallmark of his style. As art historian Gérald Alexis notes in Peintres Haïtiens, Bigaud “uses an innate sense of color effects to model various forms,” though he later experienced significant stylistic changes due to periods of depression in the late 1950s. Bigaud’s achievements earned him international recognition, and his work is represented in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, as well as in important galleries and collections in Haiti and abroad. His legacy remains foundational to the evolution of modern Haitian art.
