Micius Stéphane (1912–1996) was a Haitian painter associated with the Centre d’Art and recognized for finely detailed scenes of everyday Haitian life. Born in Bainet, he began painting in 1946 after meeting DeWitt Peters, transitioning from his early work as a cobbler to a full-time artist. A leading figure of Haitian naïve painting, Stéphane’s work is distinguished by precise composition, narrative richness, and careful observation of rural traditions. His paintings offer a vivid record of Haitian culture, rendered with clarity and charm. Stéphane exhibited internationally, including in Europe and the United States, and his work is held in major collections such as the Musée d’Art Haïtien, Musée d’Art Nader, and the Detroit Institute of Arts. Today, his paintings are increasingly scarce and highly sought after by collectors of Haitian art for their historical importance and refined execution
