Wilson Bigaud was born in 1928 in Port-au-Prince. At seventeen he walked through the doors of the newly opened Centre d´Art in Port-au-Prince.

Within half dozen years Wilson Bigaud would be among the leaders of the developing Haitian art movement. Under the tutelage of Professor Borno, and along with Hector Hyppolite, Philome and Seneque Obin, Prefete Duffaut and Castera Bazile, Bigaud would begin to turn the world´s eye toward his work and his island.

His work took three first prizes in exhibitions organized by the Centre d´Art

Bigaud is rare among primitives in that he portrays real expression in his people. Yet it´s this very detail that validates him as a prime witness of his epoch - so much so that an American art critic has stated, Bigaud is the Haitian Breughel. The French painter Gerard Economos, who knows Haiti well, believes that twenty years from now the most accurate descriptions of Haitian life and times today will be found on the canvases of Wilson Bigaud.

His Paradis was awarded the second ribbon in a 1950 international exhibit in Washington, D.C. Paradis hangs currently in New York´s Museum of Modern Art.

The products of his first years grace the walls of many distinguished halls, public and private, including of course the Episcopal Church in Port-au-Prince. Paradis and Enfers and Jardins Merveilleux are archetypical masterpieces of primitive Haitian painting that brought global celebrity to the era and the men-men like Jasmin Joseph and G. Valcin and Ph. Auguste and A. Normil. At this point Bigaud´s health failed and he laid aside his brushes. The story of a very great artist could have ended here with his fame secure. Happily, it did not. Wilson Bigaud
