Phia is a self-taught, mixed-media Haitian American artist based in Boston. Her artistic practice has evolved organically over the years, resulting in unique works grounded in personal experience, cultural heritage, and emotional expression. Through texture, experimentation, and narrative, her work explores identity, memory, and the intersections between past and present.
In my artistic journey, I harness the power of emotions and intense sentiments that flow within me. Portraits have become my primary focus, as I firmly believe that facial expressions possess a profound ability to convey messages louder than mere words. Our facial expressions often reveal our true selves, even when our words attempt to deceive.
Moreover, I explore various materials and mediums in my artistic practice, such as clay, sewing, and resin. By delving into these diverse avenues, I nourish my creativity and establish a strong connection with my inner self. This process not only enables me to effectively communicate my artistic vision but also keeps me grounded in the present moment.
