ketia

Ketia is a contemporary visual artist known for her evocative mixed media works that weave vivid textures, bold color palettes, and elements of abstraction to explore themes of identity, transformation, and memory. Born in Port-au-Prince and now based in Brooklyn, Ketia draws inspiration from her Haitian roots as well as her experiences in urban environments, often incorporating found objects, textiles, and layered paint into her canvases. Her practice is deeply influenced by both Caribbean folklore and modern social narratives, resulting in pieces that are at once personal and resonant with wider cultural significance.

Ketia’s work has been exhibited in galleries across North America and featured in several prominent group shows highlighting diasporic voices. Committed to community engagement, she frequently collaborates with grassroots organizations, using art as a medium for storytelling, healing, and empowerment. Through her dynamic compositions, Ketia invites viewers to engage with questions of belonging, resilience, and the evolving landscapes of personal and collective histories.
