Elysee, Remere is a self-taught artist, who loves painting various topics, using different styles of art. He told me that he began painting as a full-time career in 2003. He sells and displays many of his paintings in a street display located in Petion-ville, Port-au-Prince. He told me that he spends many hours each day working on his paintings. He had beautiful topics in the paintings that I had the pleasure of examining the day I spoke to him. It was refreshing discussing his artwork with him.
