This original oil painting on canvas is signed by Haitian artist Levoy Exil, who created it in 1998. In it, the vibrant primary colors of blue and red are accented in teals, oranges and violets for a cheerful piece of art that spans the color spectrum. Exil’s signature showcase, intertwined figures, take center stage in this colorful array, which is punctuated with wide, wondering eyes. As you gaze into “Playful Eyes,” you can almost see Haiti’s children defying the turmoil-rocked nation they live in to dampen their fun.

Because most Haitians do not have access to water, a majority of the nation’s children spend a good portion of their day getting water for their families. They do not allow their heavy workloads to burden them, however, often playing in the overflowing water reservoirs as they collect water in containers. The smiles that light up these children’s eyes as they engage in this gaming respite is evidenced in Haitian artist Levoy Exil’s “Playful Eyes.”
