Edouard Duval-Carrié (born 1954) is a Haitian-born American contemporary painter and sculptor based in Miami, Florida.
Edouard Duval-Carrié was born in Port-au-Prince. His family emigrated to Puerto Rico during the François Duvalier regime, while he was a child.[1] Duval-Carrié studied at the Université de Montréal and McGill University in Canada before graduating with a Bachelor of Arts from Loyola College, Montréal in 1978. He later attended the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris, France, from 1988 to 1989. He resided in France for many years and currently lives in Miami, Florida.[1] "I didn't want to go back to Haiti because of the political turmoil there. I have two kids," he explains.[1] Instead, he resides among Miami's substantial Haitian immigrant population and maintains cultural ties to his homeland.[1] His works have been exhibited in Europe and the Americas
Duval-Carrié's art reflects the culture and history of Haiti with references to the Vodou religion
