Tessa Mars

  • Tessa Mars delves into Haitian history, her primary source of inspiration, to unveil a colourful and provocative universe that she wishes to reclaim. Her paintings explore themes around identity, history, and rituals. Collective energy runs through her canvases and represents the identity and essence of her native country, investigating notions of patriotism, and sovereignty while confronting them with the reality of everyday Haitian life. Mars recounts stories of her people while examining her recent migration experience, merging memory and self-portraiture focused on a feminine universe, struggle, and legacy, as much as Haiti’s revolutionary past.
