Vin Koze avec Patrick Noze
Patrick Noze is a man of many talents. From childhood, he was introduced to the art world by his father, Robert Noze, who had an important place in the history of art in Haiti, having studied under Andre Dimanche and earning his reputation as a renowned sculptor. Patrick Noze became a third-generation sculptor, painter, and poet.
Born and raised in Haiti, PAINTING is all that defines Patrick Noze. At age 5, Patrick’s father presented him with a box containing oil paint and brushes; he had never stopped painting. Patrick became recognized as an artist at the age of 12, after painting his rendition of a painting entitled (‘Rara’), a celebration of pass over within the Haitian culture. His father, overwhelmed with his first attempt, sold the painting for $50.00 to a tourist who fell in love with his laymen’s application of colors.
