Roseman Robinot (Martinique)

Roseman Robinot’s (b. 1944) work draws from Caribbean histories, bodies, and landscapes. She was awarded the Ondes residency (Cité des Arts, 2023) and nominated for the 2023 AWARE Prize, honoring women in art and research. Inspired by Jacques Stephen Alexis’s marvellous realism, Robinot explores the body and the landscape as interconnected sites of memory and transformation. Using mixed media—acrylic, textiles, drawing—she creates rhythmic, layered works marked by gesture, breath, and symbolic traces that evoke the invisible, the ancestral, and the unspoken. Robinot has exhibited at major biennials and institutions, including São Paulo, Cairo, and the Centre Pompidou. Her work is currently featured in Paris Noir (2025). Notable solo exhibitions include Clairières (Cité des Arts, Paris) and Réalités Fantastiques (Cayenne). She is represented in public collections in French Guiana, Martinique, and France.
