Approach
As she was trained to become a textile designer, Cindy demonstrated through her art that she had distinctive taste for colors, textures and repetitive patterns. Her style was influenced by a confrontation between the urban culture of big cities like Paris and New York City, and the Caribbean culture, which forged her identity as an artist. Cindy Choisy is a young woman deeply committed and rooted in her native soil. Her passion for the history, the legends and the truths of the Caribbean became the patterns of her painting. Thus, she creates pieces of work where the reality and the fantasy – worlds scattered with symbols and signs – intertwine.
