As a first-generation Haitian American artist, I am dedicated to representing the rich cultural heritage of both my Haitian and American identities. Through my art, I celebrate and uplift the beauty and resilience of those who have been historically marginalized by sharing their daily lives and stories. My work explores themes of joy, community, and healing, and I incorporate the image of bees as a representation of the interconnectedness of bees within their ecosystem also parallel the interconnectedness of the Black community, highlighting the importance of supporting and uplifting one another. Just as bees play a vital role in the pollination of plants, Black culture can be viewed as essential for the growth and prosperity of society as a whole. As an artist, I am passionate about bringing attention to the often-overlooked experiences and perspectives of Black Americans due to systemic racism and the lack of cultural representation. I use typography and fashion in some of my portraits to spotlight these social issues and offer my perspective on the current climate. Bees face a crisis, mirroring the challenges encountered by people of color. I use traditional oil painting techniques, including mixing pigments and incorporating powdered marble and cold wax for texture in the background of my works. My artistic influences range from classical to modern artists, such as Diego Giacometti, Barkley Hendricks, Jamel Shabazz, Frida Khalo, and Jenny Saville. Through a combination of oil paintings, and public art, I strive to turn negative experiences into joyful celebrations, preserving and sharing our collective experiences in a way that brings light to the beauty of Black and Caribbean culture. - Yuzly

Ingrid Yuzly Mathurin's art is influenced by the suppression of people of color, the civil rights movement, and the freedom of self-expression. Growing up in the early 90s, she was also inspired by the aesthetics of 80s and 90s graffiti and hip-hop culture. Her work focuses on the often-overlooked experiences and resilience of the Black community, challenging stereotypes and celebrating their strength. Ingrid studied fashion design at the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale, which allowed her to hone her artistic skills and develop a unique style characterized by a vibrant color palette, symbolic elements, and intricate compositions. Her talent has been recognized with exhibitions at the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan Museum of Art in South Africa and a 52-foot mural commissioned by Adult Swim. She has collaborated with notable organizations, including the NFL, and ESPN, creating cover art for Colin Kaepernick's "Know Your Rights Camp" and partnering with Senator Jon Ossoff and Branded Arts to combat voter suppression in Atlanta, GA. Her most recent accolades include the 2024 Soho House Creative Fellowship in New York, The Other Art Fair's 2022 New Futures award by Saatchi Art, a solo exhibition at Sovern LA, and features in LA Weekly, Amsterdam News, and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. She was also an artist-in-residence at The Carrie Able Gallery and participated in the Los Angeles Lakers' "In the Paint" Program group exhibition. With a passion for inspiring youth and uplifting emerging artists of color, she delves into her art to address pressing social and cultural issues, fostering meaningful dialogue and reflection through her work.
