Bastik (b. 1997) began her artistic practice at the young age
of 4, as a student of Kay Tiga in Port-au-prince, Haiti.
Practicing the “Artistic Rotation” method by roaming freely
from ink to paint and clay; blurring the boundaries between
mediums quickly became second nature to her. Today
relocated in Tiohtià:ke/Montreal, Canada, she is a
mechanical engineer and multidisciplinary artist exploring
themes of connection, identity as well as Haitian visual
cultures of nature through a multitude of mediums such as
painting, collage and design.
