FRANCIS PARAISON (1958-2003):

Francis Paraison, was born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti in 1958. He was a modern 20th Century artist known for brilliant vibrant landscapes, seascapes and abstracts in oil and acrylic. Born with an artist's eye and exposed to local artists in Haiti, inspired young Francis to begin his art at a very early age. By his teen years his work was already gaining notoriety and recognition, even at the international level. As the years progressed he developed and mastered his own unique style of painting. He was a student of the late renowned Haitian painter Henry Bresil. Bresil quickly recognized Paraison's talent. Paraison was an excellent student as well as an artist, and learned much from Bresil as well as other Haitian artists, and the masters as well.

Francis Paraison participated in exhibitions in many galleries, abroad and in Haiti. 

His painting "Three Tigers in the Moonlight" is part of the Winslow Anderson Collection of Haitian Art and is housed at the Huntington Museum of Art in San Marino California.
