Self-taught Haitian naïve Vodou painter Maxan Jean Louis created this original acrylic on canvas, measuring 20 x 24 inches, in his vibrant, symbol-driven style. The composition features animated figures climbing a money tree, a striking metaphor for desire, ambition, and the social realities of Haiti—rendered with bold color, rhythmic repetition, and the flattened silhouettes that distinguish the artist’s visual language. Energetic and conversation-starting, this work is an excellent acquisition for collectors seeking contemporary Haitian Vodou-inspired painting with strong narrative impact and decorative presence. The artwork is in excellent condition, signed and dated in the lower right, and is sold unframed. It comes from a private collection in Virginia and will be shipped directly from that collection. A Certificate of Authenticity will be issued by Myriam Nader Haitian Art Gallery upon purchase.

Born in Jérémie, Haiti, on March 17, 1966, Maxan Jean Louis was encouraged to begin painting in 1992 by his cousins, renowned artists Henri and Eric Jean-Louis. He quickly developed a naïve style shaped by Vodou culture and Haiti’s political history, moving between ornamental motif-driven compositions and a playful, surreal approach to social scenes. His work is included in the permanent collection of the Charlotte Zander Museum in Bönnigheim, Germany, and he has participated in international exhibitions, including at the Musée d’Aquitaine in Bordeaux, the Haiti Art Expo during Art Basel Miami Beach 2010, and at the Patricia & Philip Frost Art Museum at Florida International University in Miami.
