This evocative large-scale mixed media work is by the celebrated Haitian artist Ernest P. Apollon. The composition features a central stylized figure rendered with the artist's signature folk-inspired sensitivity, appearing to float within a luminous, ethereal shroud of pale blue and white. The background is a sophisticated exploration of color and atmosphere, utilizing broad, gestural washes of turquoise, lavender, and soft ochre to create a dreamlike landscape.

Apollon’s work is highly regarded for its ability to blend traditional Haitian narrative elements with a modern, almost celestial abstraction. This particular piece showcases his mastery of layering, where the translucency of the medium creates a sense of depth and spiritual stillness. The work is signed and dated "epa 98" in the lower right corner.
