Visiting the Haitian Historical Museum, my emotion was intense, a museum that displayed a huge mural of great quality, along its walls, telling the story of the Haitian people from the French invasion to date. France brought African slaves to Haiti because when they saw that the natives did not collaborate with their interests, they killed them all and those who were not killed, committed collective suicide in disapproval of the French genocide. This is the reason why the Haitian people are mostly black. When I left the museum I met these street vendors. They allowed me to take photos of them so I could paint them when I saw my emotion at this story that speaks of the bravery of a people who, through the struggle of the slaves, was the first country on the American continent to free itself from slavery, in 1804.List of works:
