Ingrid Yuzly Mathurin

Ingrid Yuzly Mathurin is a trailblazer in the art world, a first-generation Haitian-American artist who was born in Nyack, NY. With a passion for the arts that began at the age of five, Ingrid's journey in the art world has been marked by her unique perspective and dynamic approach.

Her influences range from the Harlem Renaissance era, 1980 & 1990s graffiti, and hip-hop culture, to the civil rights movement, reflecting her dedication to bringing attention to the often-neglected experiences and perspectives of young Black individuals. This is evident in her paintings, which focus on creating positive and celebratory portrayals of Black individuals that challenge negative stereotypes and celebrate their experiences, strengths, and beauty.

Ingrid uses bright colors, symbolisms, and intricate compositions to create dynamic and engaging pieces that invite the viewer to explore and appreciate the subject's story. Ingrid's talent and dedication to her craft led her to attend the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale for fashion design, and her art has since graced exhibitions at the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan Museum of Art in South Africa.

Through her art, Ingrid aims to bring attention to the experiences of marginalized communities and create a space for meaningful dialogue.
