AWOZ is a Caribbean artist whose work is deeply rooted in his island’s cultural heritage.
Born and raised in the islands, AWOZ has always been influenced by the richness and diversity of his native island's maritime and coastal landscapes.
His works, created primarily in black pen on paper, capture the essence of island life with unique sensitivity and detail.
Creolization, the process by which cultures and traditions blend to create unique expressions, is central to AWOZ's art.
His artistic vision reflects creoleness—the ability to transform outside influences into something authentically local.
AWOZ’s paintings are not only visual representations, but living testimonies of the fusion between ancestral traditions and contemporary realities in the Caribbean. He uses his art to explore and celebrate the
diverse and complex aspects of Creole life, from traditional regattas to vibrant markets and daily life by the sea.
