Franck Robuste was born on November 22, 1942, in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, and died in New York in 2012. His father was in the military and his mother a dress designer. He attended the Nationale Republique du Paraguay school for his Primary studies Certificate. Often, he spent his leisure time drawing rustic scenes, which were within view. Admitted to grade 6 at Lycée Antenor Firmin, he remained there for only three years. He abandoned his studies to pursue his dream of becoming a great painter. He received his first lesson from his grandmother, Madame Franck Chenet, a surrealist, and continued training himself. He joined the forces with Fravrange Valcin, who was advanced in primitive art. They worked together but not for too long. Later, Franck met the artist Raymond Duvivier and studied under his influence. Robuste’s first exhibit was in 1967, and a second one was in 1971. His art was sponsored by the African American Caribbean Cultural Center abroad. His art has also been cited many times in the media, including the Washington Post and the Suntinel in Florida. His work depicts scenes from everyday Haitian life and religion. Over the years, he has tried many styles, from primitivism to expressionism, influenced by Van Gogh. In his newest paintings, he uses a palette knife to give them a three-dimensional quality in bold and vibrant colors. The vivid colors and animated subjects that dominate his canvases, resulting from years of perseverance and patience, made him a successful painter whose art is appreciated and collected by many abroad.
