Mathieu JN Baptiste was born in Port Au Prince, Haiti, and is based in Houston, Texas. Mathieu spent his early years in Haiti and St Paul, Minnesota. He studied Art and Photography at Ecole Nationale des Arts (Enarts), in Port Au Prince, Haiti resulting in a Bachelor of Arts in Art History. Mathieu uses paint and metal as tools to unite the world around him. He states, ‘This world is filled with confusions and misunderstandings as people struggle and strive in this beautifully, complex, maze of life.” Mathieu’s art reflects the good, the hopeful, and the interconnectedness for a better world. The core of his artistic prowess is his belief that art should teach, heal, and inspire. Mathieu's influences are of the Mannerist movement and Surrealist era. Mathieu’s works are based on oppressed subjects and populations' unsung stories, and the harsh realities of the voiceless that are sometimes never expressed. Mathieu’s purpose is to manipulate art to give voice to the oppressed in this ever-evolving generation.
His artwork is displayed locally, nationally, and globally in museums, governmental buildings, educational institutions, healthcare clinics, hospitals, murals, and private art collections. He is a highly sought after art expert, consultant and instructor to educational institutions, private penitentiaries and civic organizations. Mathieu’s work has been exhibited in Woman’s Hospital of Texas, Discovery Green, Jung Center, Rice University- Fest Eve, Art Basel 2019-Art Beat Miami, Haiti’s Presidential Palace, museums, churches, galleries, and charity events such as APROFISA and Institute for Justice and Democracy in Haiti.
