 Jean Dominique Volcy is a  natural born talented artist. His passion for art started at a very young age with his elaborate drawings

water color paintings. They are a testimony of the future artist that we behold today. With patience, perseverance and discipline,

Volcy was commissioned in year 2000 to create a painting representing the Haitian community in New York for the Census.

Volcy's paintings capture the essence and depth of many aspects that we experience in our life, personifying beauty

through his well defined sense of color, form and balance.

 "My work echoes the murmur, the clamor and joy in our daily life, he says, sometimes my voice is silent and melancholic, 

sometimes it is clear exciting and full of joy" Nonetheless his paintings leave a lasting impression on the viewer.

Volcy lives in Brooklyn New York.
