“The release of Book 4 and its cover unveiling in New York City on October 8th was remarkable, despite Hurricane Milton’s attempt to dampen the occasion. The motivation to celebrate an important part of history—the story of the Americas—prevailed.
Marie and I represented Fine Arts BY Carl in spirit, knowing that the Bayards—Laura, Patricia, Bernard (JB), and Daniel (Danny)—would honor their ancestors’ legacy as depicted in Triumph To Tragedy. Their testimonies highlighted the preservation of historical events that shaped not only our region but the world.
The fusion of visual art with literature, though challenging, became a labor of love. Through my Symbolic Expressionism style, the colors of Ayiti conveyed the essence of the characters. The historical significance intertwined with the saga’s romantic elements made it a joy to merge “l’utile à l’agréable” (the useful with the pleasant).
Ayiti serves as the “Pantheon” of Triumph To Tragedy, a place where extraordinary figures achieved the seemingly impossible. This project reflects a dedication to storytelling and honors the legacy of those who shaped our history. Witnessing the Bayards continue this heritage was truly rewarding, reinforcing the importance of remembering and celebrating our past.
