He seemed even impressed by the great variety of our paintings and handicrafts, and so he finally gave us a few of his original paintings to show them in our own gallery. You can imagine how Gilbert felt, when he could hold one of those famous paintings in his own hands, which he had so far only known from art catalogues. After lots of questions and some drinks at the nearby bar, Mosanto had to leave, because he had to prepare for an exhibition in Columbia the next week. But he didn't leave without promising us to visit us again soon, when he would return from Columbia in December.

Therefore we are now able to offer you some genuine paintings of Frantz Mosanto for a really special price. Keep in mind that these are no cheap copies, but original paintings made and signed by Mosanto himself.

Frantz Mosanto

Born on August 20, 1955 Frantz Mosanto started to study painting at the "Ferronnerie d'Art" in 1979 under the surveillance of Maurice Vital, Raymond Lafaille and Wiler Larose.

Later in 1989 he worked as sports correspondent for Info-Sport and other magazines and as a photographer.

His extra-ordinary painting of landscapes and animals in costumes already enabled him to take part at group exhibitions organized by the Nader gallery of Nimes in France 1989.

In the same year he took part at the collective exhibition organized by the association Accuporo in cooperation with the School of Ethnology in 1989 in Port-with-Prince
