Claude Andy Saint Rome Labossière, born on September 15, 1980, in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, comes from a family deeply rooted in the arts. His grandfather, Gerard Saint Rome, was a renowned painter and photographer, while his father, Claude Mario Saint Rome, is a prominent artist and a movie producer. Andy embarked on his artistic journey from a young age, as he's affectionately known. After studying Visual Arts in Puerto Rico, he obtained his Bachelor's degree in 2003 and pursued a Master of Fine Arts in 2006. Andy has been actively involved in various exhibitions and charitable endeavors. He participated in auctions to support foundations and non-profit organizations, showcased his work in international exhibitions, and even engaged in art therapy for traumatized children in Haiti after the devastating earthquake of 2010. His passion for art has taken him across the globe, from collective exhibitions in Puerto Rico to participating in auctions in New York and Miami. Andy's commitment to his craft and humanitarian efforts reflect his dedication to making a difference through art. In recent years, he has continued to exhibit his work in biennials and collective shows, including commemorating cultural figures like Julia de Burgos and contributing to fundraisers for Haiti's development. Andy's artistic journey is a testament to his talent, compassion, and determination to use his art for positive change. Claude Andy today lives in Puerto Rico. Academic Studies:Bachelor in Visual Arts August 1999 to June 2003 Interamerican University of Puerto Rico San German, Puerto Rico Cum Laude Master in Fine Arts (MFA) August 2003 to 2006 Interamerican University of Puerto Rico San German, Puerto Rico Expositions• 1993 Mural in France Bretagne, “Ferme du Cosquer” • 2003 Auction Asociación de los Niños Sordos Club Deportiv,o Ponce, PR • 2003 Auction Museum of Art, Ponce, PR Fundación Vivvas • 2004 Collective, Dorado, PR • 2004 Collective in Gallery Cayena Ponce, PR • 2004 Auction Caribbean Art in Centro de Bellas Arte Caguas, PR • 2004 Exhibition “Mis Realidades...” Barrachina in Old San Juan, PR • 2005 Collective Exhibition “Haïti, Mon Rêve, Mon Amour” at the Ritz Kinam II, Haiti • 2005 LineArt 2005 International Art Fair Gent, Bélgica • 2005 Book Fair International Frankfurt, Alemania • 2006 Exhibition individual (Master Thesis) “Jeu sensuel de l’art de courtiser” (15 obras) Universidad Interamericana San Germán, Puerto Rico • 2006 “Arte de las Américas” Congreso del Comercio de Detallista de las Américas Hotel Embassy Suites( URI Art Gallery) Carolina, Puerto Rico • 2007 Collective URI Art Gallery • 2007 Collective URI Art Gallery “ Las Mona Lisas” • 2007 Exhibition Individual “Jeu sensuel de l’art de courtiser” (39) URI Art Gallery, San Juan, Puerto Rico • 2007 Las Mona Lisas, Collective Exhibition, Uri Art Gallery • 2008 1st Art Auction in the Caribbean, Mesa Fine Arts, Hotel Meliá, Republica Dominicana, Santo Domingo • 2008 Las Mona Lisas, Collective Exhibition, Museo de las Américas, Miami , Florida • 2009 Luz de Sombras,Exhibition Individual, Puerto Rico Fine Arts Gallery, Ponce, Puerto Rico • 2009 Grandes Promesas en Pequeños Formatos, Collective Exhibition, Puerto Rico Fine Arts, Gallery, Ponce, Puerto Rico • 2009 Art Auction “28th Anniversary of The Humminbird Gala” New York, USA • 2010 Art Auction Puerto Rico Fine Arts Gallery and Yo limpio a Puerto Rico in the Puerto Rico Convention Center • 2011 Primera Bienal Municipal de Arte de Ponce Municipal Library, Ponce, Puerto Rico • 2011 Collective “Magnifique Collection D’Art Centro Cultural Carmen Sola de Pereira Ponce, Puerto Rico
