Biography of Julio DesmontBorn in 1983, in Camperrin, a town in the south of Haiti. Julio Desmont moved to Port au Prince in his in early childhood, where he began his artistic journey. In his elementary art days he worked with crayons and watercolors. His inspirations in these early times were the animation of the Walt Disney cartoons characters, the cubism of Pablo Picasso whose inspirations went back to Africa and the original American painter, Gerogia Okeeffe. His major influence however, was the totemic arts of his people with its roots in Africa characterize by a chain of elements. This modernist artist employ deep vibrant colors, lines and shapes that are at times mesmerizing and evokes a quickening in the hearts and body of onlookers akin to a spiritual experience.In 2003, he entered the Ecole Nationale Des Beaux Arts (ENARTS) in Port au Prince to study fine arts.He studied with Haitian artist and masters ValcinII, Dieudonne Cedor, Ludovic Booz, Jean Claude Garoute (ti ga), Harold Alfonse and mentored by Dr. Michel Phillipe Lherebours director of the Musee d’ Art Haitien du college Saint Pierre in Port au prince, Haiti. At the early stage of his career, he has commissioned by galleries and personals around the United States, specifically in New York, Chicago, Miami, and across Europe, Austria, Germany, Holland, Greece, France, England, Denmark... He won the Sosua Bay Annual Painting Contest in December 2008.
Julio Desmont believes that an artist must stay creative and not worry about what the painting is for or where it is going. Propelled by this spirit, he is now a full time artist and a pioneer in the current abstract movement called Divinism, which emphasizes spontaneous strokes, improvisation, and divine touch. The core of Divinism is the recognition of our common humanity as humans through the arts. The artist Julio currently resides in the Dominican Republic. He has a successful art career. He has participated in various collective exhibitions in Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
