Elizabeth Martineau, a Haitian artist born in Port-au-Prince, was shaped by an artistic milieu, raised in the home of her uncle, architect and sculptor Albert Mangones, co-founder of Haiti’s Centre d’Art. Exiled during youth, she engaged with artists like Fernando Botero in Colombia and Lois Mailou Jones in Washington, DC. Martineau’s technique involves layering paper on Arches paper or canvas, painting with acrylics, and outlining subjects in bold black, accentuated by vibrant colors and gold streaks. Her works, depicting serene figures, priestesses, and masks, evoke Caribbean and African themes. She holds degrees from the University of Medellín and Corcoran School of Art.
