Jean Valm\u00e9 is an incredibly dedicated young painter\u00a0with many epic Port-au-Prince barbershops to his credit. His paintings are stunningly realistic. As a youngster he says he was so obsessed with painting that he got terrible marks\u00a0in 9th grade because \u201call of my love was focussed on being an artist.\u201d His father had to intervene to get him to pay attention to his studies. He learned his trade by apprenticing under Belo, and by seeking out every opportunity he could to meet and help other artists whose work he admired and saw in the streets around him. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A brother and sister wanted to commemorate their father’s birthday, and both felt that the best photograph they had of him was, unfortunately, in black-and-white. Valm\u00e9 was able to colorize his painting for this astonishing likeness.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n
