The well-known Haitian artist Gabriel Coutard signed this vibrant jungle scene painting of an Eden garden. It is an original painting in good condition and sold unframed. 

Gabriel Coutard was born in 1965 in St Marc to farming parents; he studied until the third, then arrived young in Port-au-Prince, where his uncle Gabriel Alix taught at the Art Center. He also works in the factory. He began painting in 1980, with a preference for the jungles, especially with panthers and tigers.

Coutard also makes tapestries of slowly elaborated pearls inspired by very different things. The voodoo is present; each "standard" represents several "loa."
"I paint panthers for a living, and I like that. Landscapes alone are rare. I don't paint men. I've never seen actual panthers, but I'm looking at books with pictures and drawings. I make the tapestries with Erzuli Freda, Erzuli Dantor, Kabbalah, and the vévé (symbolic illustrations of the loa). Inspiration comes when I sleep, then I reflect and trace the drawing on canvas. Then it would help if you sewed the thousands of beads: a month and a half of work. I like to do both. "
