Mark Delmont (Haiti)

Mark Delmont (b. 1990), a Miami-based artist, explores the intersection of labor, culture, and identity. Raised in Carol City with Jamaican and Haitian roots, his work merges construction techniques with storytelling, reﬂecting his upbringing & community. A self-taught painter, he channels his blue-collar background into works that honor resilience and history. Delmont’s practice examines the balance between construction and destruction, using paint and mixed media to depict the overlooked narratives of Black and Brown communities. Inﬂuenced by car culture, cinema, and his father’s fabrication work, he blends ﬁgurative and abstract elements to reclaim space and dignity for his subjects. Delmont’s recent accolades include his Papers (2024) solo exhibition at the African Heritage Cultural Arts Center, marking a pivotal moment in his career. He is the cover artist for Miami’s Arts & Culture 2025, a Harpo Foundation Grant recipient, and a 2024 MASS MoCA resident.
