Mark Fleuridor: Sunshine

Miami native Mark Fleuridor’s artistic practice is shaped by his continued exploration of his personal history contextualized by his Haitian background. Inspired by both ancestral lineage and nature in the subtropics, Fleuridor uses photography to create layered reconstructions of family, friends, home spaces and tropical plants that manifest into entirely new environments.

There is an underlying theme shared in Fleuridor’s figurative portraits and his boundless natural environments: the cycles of life. The human life cycle is investigated through deep considerations of generational connectivity, family and their respective lived experiences, and brought to life across mediums such as quilt-making, collages, and watercolors. This is underlined with the connected narrative of the cycles of the natural world and ultimately creates work that cohesively emerges out of the juxtaposition of figuration and abstraction.
