Alix Dorléus was born in 1958 in Petite Rivière, Haiti. Dorléus is one of many who studied under the late, great Saincilus Ismaël. Ismaël’s Byzantine style can be seen in Dorléus’ work in the great detail and patterns in clothing and foliage. Like Ismaël, Dorléus was given much support by Mrs. Gwen Mellon, and he sold his first painting to Gallery Monnin in Port-au-Prince. Dorléus paints all day long, and will paint anywhere he feels the spirit to motivate him. His best paintings are detailed depictions, like activity maps, of daily life in the Artibonite Valley.
