"Madonna & Child" by Serge Toussaint

FLORIDA - Artist Serge Toussaint — the man behind dozens of multi-colored murals and signs in Miami’s urban neighborhoods. The Haitian-born Toussaint — muralist, sign painter, visual storyteller, son of Little Haiti — has spent nearly two decades brushing walls and storefronts, underpasses and pillars with a rainbow of hues, vibrant scenes and powerful portraits that offer a slice of city life. “Art is what I was meant to do,’’ he says. “For me, art is like an addiction: it’s something I fell in love with and something I cannot walk away from." He has also painted a series of saints on the walls of botanicas and angels on the ceilings of churches. [link]
